Specialties
Locavorious provides locally grown, delicious, and healthy frozen fruits and vegetables, enabling people to easily eat local in the winter. You can find our products at Whole Foods (Ann Arbor stores), Argus Farm Stop, Arbor Farms and the People's Food Co-op.
We offer frozen produce subscriptions, similar to shares offered by community supported agriculture (CSA) farms. During the peak harvest, we prepare local produce at its peak freshness, and preserve it. During winter, members pick up their share of the frozen harvest periodically at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, Washtenaw Food Hub and Morgan & York. Locavorious shares includes local produce such as asparagus, blueberries, raspberries, stewed tomatoes, sweet corn, sugar snap peas, roasted pumpkin, red peppers, green beans, edamame, peaches, broccoli and cauliflower, among other items. With a Locavorious subscription, you get delicious, healthy and locally grown food for the winter plus you help achieve a larger mission of promoting sustainable food systems, reducing the energy consumption of current food distribution,, and preserving family farms.
