Mid-Michigan farmers and food producers offer their communities an extensive market of fresh, nutritious, and conscientiously grown or crafted produce and food products. Our region’s livelihood depends on the hard work of these dedicated and creative individuals. However, for some, opportunities to expand into the commercial market on a larger scale can be few and far between.

In essence, Exchange facilitates beneficial relationships between commercial buyers looking to purchase wholesale produce or food products, and farmers or food producers wishing to diversify and expand their market. The Allen Neighborhood Center Exchange works to:
