Summer is in full swing, with plenty of fresh produce from local farmers. MHealthy has partnered with Argus Farm Stop to offer a weekly produce box subscription that includes convenient pick-up locations on and near the Ann Arbor campus.  

What’s in a produce box?

Each week’s produce box will include a collection of six to nine seasonal produce items hand-selected by Argus Farm Stop staff. You’ll also get emails detailing the coming week’s box contents, a recipe and information on the farmer.

Argus Farm Stop works with more than 50 small farms in Michigan that prioritize sustainable growing practices.

The cost is $30 per week. Your produce box subscription is also flexible. Cancel or pause your subscription anytime or skip a week.
