Argus Farm Stop

About Argus Farm Stop

Argus Farm Stop is a gathering place for people who care about local food. Their mission is to grow Ann Arbor's local food ecosystem, by working to improve small farm viability and increase community access to local food. They are a direct-to-consumer market for local producers (vegetables/fruit, meats, baked goods and dairy as well as food artisans). They are also a member of the Michigan Farmer's Market Association. They make it easy to buy local, with convenient daily access to a wide variety of local-only food.

They operate year-round, encouraging farmers and producers to find ways to extend the growing season. Argus provides local producers with a new and different way to sell their products, allowing them to sustain and expand their businesses. Products are owned and priced by the producer (no brokers or intermediaries allowed) so customers know where their food comes from. 80% of the selling price goes back to the producer where it belongs. They enable customers to buy from multiple farmers and producers in a single easy transaction.
