You may have seen Made in Grey signs posted in local restaurants, stores and farmers' markets, announcing that local food is sold and served there. The brick-and-mortar members are easy to find.
Many other Made in Grey members are food producers who rely on those stores and markets and events to get their products in your hands. They are farmers and food processors and others who work behind the scenes creating great food. Keep your eyes open for their products and services when you shop in or near Grey County.
