Welcome to the West Michigan Cooperative, the region's first online farmers market, brought to you by Farms Without Harm, the Greater Grand Rapids Food Systems Council, DeLeeuw Digital, LLC and Media Rare. The WMC serves as a way for local farmers and consumers to stay connected all year long.

Here's how it works: Users purchase products from our producers on this site during a shopping "window" that begins on the first Saturday of every month and ends on the following Friday. Users then pick up and pay for their orders on Wednesday of the third full week that month at Media Rare. There's an annual fee of $35 (or $100 to become a voting Member).

All the farmers, restaurants and other producers on this website are local — that is, they're located in West Michigan. Beyond that, the farmers on this site practice a wide variety of agricultural methods ranging from conventional to Certified Organic farming. You should acquaint yourself with each producer so you know what type of product you're purchasing. They all have descriptions of their practices and products on this site.

We encourage you to educate yourself on the issues involved in modern farming and local food systems. We've provided some information on this site, and you can find more at Farms Without Harm and the Greater Grand Rapids Food Systems Council.

We believe the best hope for building a healthy, humane, local food system lies with an educated consumer. Happy shopping!
