- Description:
- In this installment of "Western Michigan at work," Dr. Willis Dunbar profiles the Benton Harbor Fruit Market, "the largest open-air, cash-to-grower market in the world." Dunbar describes in detail the way fruit and vegetable growers come from western Michigan farms to sell their wares to buyers from 31 states, including buyers from A&P. He explains that growers made over nine million dollars last year by selling a variety of produce including squash, tomatoes, celery, peaches, cherries, and apples. Dunbar also discuss the market's labor exchange, where laborer register for work and growers use the registry to hire as many workers as needed for the season.
