AgConnect makes selling surplus and #2s easy – reach out and we will handle the rest.

AgConnect Gives Michigan Farmers a No-Risk Way to Turn Surplus Crops Into Income and Feed Families

AgConnect is a service of the Food Bank Council of Michigan that lists surplus and #2-grade produce at farmer-set prices on Feeding America’s national MealConnect platform. You set the price; we manage the logistics and distribution, so your Michigan-grown crops reach families facing hunger across the country. We value our partnership with the growers who keep our state strong and are committed to helping you recover costs while ensuring fresh, Michigan-grown food gets to the people who need it most.

How AgConnect Works

Impact in Michigan

In 2025, the Food Bank Council of Michigan moved over 9 million pounds of Michigan-grown surplus harvests through the Feeding America food bank network.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We primarily work with fruit and vegetable farmers, but we are open to other opportunities and would love to chat.

  • AgConnect is a purchase program. Food banks have funding available to purchase your surplus, and donations are never expected. Some growers may choose to donate product, and if so, we recommend speaking with your tax advisor about any potential tax benefits.

  • No. While we are a secondary market, we can list #1 grade and purchased product as well.

  • We use MealConnect—Feeding America’s national food rescue platform—to list your product. Feeding American food banks across the country can purchase your surplus directly. The platform allows donations too; speak to your tax advisor for information on potential tax benefits.
