Over 200 farmers and producers of food products sell at Argus. Opened in August 2014, we continue to grow the local food economy! Argus operates on a consignment relationship with our producer, which means the farms who sell here OWN their products and SET their prices. So you, the consumer, are buying directly from the farms. We represent them carefully.
Argus has paid out over $15 million to local farms . All income is directed to our mission of growing the local food economy.
Here we are in Michigan, and our farms now have an outlet to sell all winter - so they are growing all winter. The interface that we provide between the customer and the farmer also maintains farm identity with the customer.
Argus Farm Stop is always looking for local producers to help increase our offerings to customers. If you have products that are grown, raised, or produced in Michigan, we encourage you to apply.

At this point in Argus’ growth, we do not have a great need for additional producers in a wide variety of categories. If you are a good fit for us but we are already amply supplied with the same types of items, we may add you to our wait list; there may be opportunities for produce farmers to get involved in certain parts of our operation, like the Weekly Produce Box, even if we don’t have space to add you for retail sales. We are actively seeking additional producers of the following items: Yogurt and Quince
