Today, Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) Director Tim Boring celebrated Small Business Saturday to recognize the role Michigan’s small businesses play in our communities and for our economy.
Small Business Saturday is a celebration of small businesses and the work they do to help support communities and grow neighborhoods in Michigan and across the nation. It has become an important part of the busy holiday season to get out and shop at your local small businesses and support the success of the community in which we live.
“Small businesses are important for reflecting the culture of Michigan. From local breweries and cideries, to nurseries, and even dog bakeries, Michigan’s small businesses are a big part of creating unique experiences and products for local communities,” said Boring. “When Michiganders shop local, they support the hard work of small businesses and all they do for the community. Get out and shop at a small business this holiday season.”
In Michigan, small businesses carry on local traditions and sell creative products that make them unique and special to each community. MDARD encourages Michiganders to get out this Small Business Saturday to support not only your small businesses, but your communities.
