Groundswell Community Farm is a CSA growing nutritious vegetables on the beautiful bottomland muck of Beaverdam, Michigan. For our sixth season, the farm will grow for 132 members. We currently have shares open in Grand Rapids and Holland. You can find us at Fulton St. Farmer's Market in Grand Rapids on Saturdays on the very north end starting in late June. We are certified organic! Of course, we have always used organic-approved methods that grow nutrient-dense food to protect farmworkers, local soils and water. Our produce is also available at all three locations of Harvest Health from June to October.

In the winter, we sell through the West Michigan Cooperative www.wmcoop.com in the winter. This cooperative offers local meat, dairy, veggies, fruit, bread, cheese and a number of other products from farms near Grand Rapids.
