The Student Food Co. was founded in 2012 when a food access survey revealed that 40% of the UM student body is food insecure, or feel they do not have reliable access to affordable and nutritious food. We are a nonprofit, student-and-volunteer-run produce stand that sells fresh, affordable produce weekly on campus (in Mason Hall). Our mission is to make nutritious food accessible to all busy college students.

​

The Ann Arbor Student Food Co. hopes to bring healthy, wholesome food to the University of Michigan community and to promote discussion and food education.

​

Bringing the Food Co. to life takes concerted volunteer effort. It takes time to get applications to sell produce from a stand in Washtenaw County, and the produce needs to be sourced, bought, and peddled during the market's opening hours. We're working to establish the market as a dependable source of whole foods on campus, where fresh produce is not always easy to find.
