For twelve years, the Marquette Food Co-op has been coordinating tours of local farms to offer everyone the opportunity to connect with local food. See for yourself where your food is grown and how it is produced.

New this year, we'll also be hosting a UP Farm Tour Photo Contest. Anyone attending a farm tour can participate by posting their photos to Instagram, mentioning or tagging the farm they're visiting, and using the hashtag #UPFarmTours2017. Finalists will be selected by MFC staff and the winning photo will be chosen by voters on social media. The winning photo will be used to promote next year's tours, and the photographer will be credited and will go home with a basket of local farm goods!
