Local Harvest was recently founded in 2015 by Mitch Kauffman and Emily Peters. Mitch is currently renovating and re-branding Local Harvest, which was formerly known as Joe Jackson's, Growers Junction, and Local Harvest (2013-2014). Joe was great man and ran a wonderful business for over thirty years, selling some of the finest fruit in Southwest Michigan. Unfortunately Joe lost his battle with cancer several years ago and the stand was left vacant.
Mitch and the workers of Local Harvest are trying our best to restore the stand above and beyond the state it was in when Joe passed away. Our goal is to provide the highest quality produce in Southwest Michigan. We scour the countryside far and wide to find farmers that provide the highest quality produce. We've done our research to find the most sustainable farms and produce so you don't have to!
Some of our favorite farms whose produce we provide are:
