When Wendy asked me to write about a kid-oriented place along Kent Harvest Trails for Eat Local! West Michigan, I immediately thought of Koetsier’s Greenhouse.

When the auto industry shake-up occurred in Michigan a few years ago, I felt that I needed to do something to draw positive attention to the state. I was tired of hearing so much negativity in the news, especially since I knew that there was much more to Michigan than just autos. “What about FRUIT?” I kept asking the radio, but it did not hear me.
