I wanted to make you aware of a meeting for some of your produce farmer contacts. Eric Hahn has started a new company in Hart, Michigan called Locavore Food Distributors, LLC. Eric, along with other investors, started Cherry Capital Foods in Traverse City area a few years ago that aggregated produce from the TC area that was then sold to local schools, restaurants, hospitals, etc... It is my understanding that Eric will still be working for Cherry Capital Foods while starting Locavore Food Distributors, LLC. Since this a new company, Eric is trying to meet with growers (of all sizes) in the Hart region to help supply produce to his new company. He is having an informational meeting next week and the information is below: Thursday, April 23 2 PM The Starting Block 1535 Industrial Park Drive Hart, MI 49420 Contact information Lynn Smith Locavore Food Distributors 1535 Industrial Park Drive Hart, MI 49420 231-629-2778 231-873-1458 fax locavorefooddistributors.com <http://locavorefooddistributors.com/> Give them a call if you have any questions.
