Michigan Potatoes Launches "Free Groceries" Campaign Shoppers in Michigan are in luck because the Michigan Potato Industry Commission (MPIC) is giving free groceries away to potato lovers all year long. The MPIC has partnered with Spartan-Nash stores and other Michigan retailers to promote and help raise awareness of locally grown potatoes. As a major part of a nearly $100,000 USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant, the MPIC in partnership with Spartan-Nash has created 90 Michigan Potatoes-branded orchard bins that will be featured in produce sections all over the state. In addition, 4.6 million branded Kwik Lok tags can be found on Michigan-grown potato bags with a "Free Groceries For A Month" campaign to identify Michigan potatoes.
