Ann Arbor Tortilla Factory
I emailed them over the summer asking about where they buy their corn from and "the corn comes from a farm in Ohio, 120 miles from Ann Arbor." Not to mention that it is non-GMO and they don’t use bleachers, softeners, preservatives or colorants.

A catering company that is committed to beautiful, tasty, locally-sourced food. They also have a food cart at the AA farmer's market!
Pilar's Tamales
2261 W Liberty
Traditional Saldoran cuisine that has quite a popular food stand at the AA farmer's market. Seasonally flavored tamales? Yes please.
RoosRoast Coffee
Obviously not locally grown coffee beans but locally roasted instead! They are currently at about 80-90% fair trade, depending on the specific roast, but they are working towards 100% fair trade/organic. You can buy their coffee at every Ann Arbor farmer's market as well as a few local businesses, including Cafe Verde and Sparrow Market.
