As traditional grocery stores disappear from rural communities, access to fresh, healthy food becomes increasingly limited. When Empire Township, MI, lost its only grocery store, resident Jim Lively stepped up to create a year-round farm stop, supporting both local farmers and the broader community. Inspired by Ann Arbor’s Argus Farm Stop, a staple since 2014, Lively’s project is part of a growing movement across Michigan. Learn how Argus is helping expand farm stops statewide in this community spotlight from Michigan News.
