This week (August 2-8, 2009) is National Farmer’s Market Week. I hope you get a chance to get out and buy some fresh and local food. There are markets all across the state and you can learn about them through the Michigan Farmer’s Market Map on Absolute Michigan.

Be sure to check this photo from the Fulton Street Farmers Market in Grand Rapids out bigger and also have a look at markets from all over the state in the farmer’s market slideshow from the Absolute Michigan group on Flickr!
