Michigan AF Podcast
Michigan grows more than 300 different foods and products that we all enjoy every day. We're on a mission to find every local restaurant, manufacturer and food company sourcing their ingredients from right here in the Mitten and in the process, bridge the gap from the farm to your fork. We want to introduce you to all things Michigan agriculture and food – this is Michigan AF.

She, her husband Zac, and her daughter Zoey live in Ionia, where they love making use of the extensive trail system.
