Suburban Harvest
“Bringing good food from good people to good people”
Suburban Harvest will provide the residents of the City of Plymouth and surrounding areas organic and locally grown produce, Michigan based processed products and natural foods, baked goods and general groceries. Our goal is to provide a healthy alternative to local families based on the belief that food and shopping should be as local and family oriented as possible.
Suburban Harvest is located at 606 S. Main Street, on the corner of Wing Street providing foot and automobile traffic necessary to sustain a strong customer base of approximately 4,500 homes within walking distance.

About Suburban Harvest owners, Jason Blazek and Katie Norris.
Jason and Katie created the Suburban Harvest idea in an attempt to create a planet friendly, personal alternative to big business that eats up the local entrepreneur and to provide a peaceful, personal lifestyle for their children and the families of the Plymouth community that they love and live in. They believe that the health and welfare of all families is based on the quality time spent building a life and a sustainable community.
Jason comes from a twenty two year career in the automotive industry and has experience ranging from the concept, to the building to the selling of concept and auto show vehicles. In this economy, he has decided that his family would be better serviced if he started a service related business within the community.
Katie comes from a long history of family owned business (restaurant and small grocery) and entrepreneurship partnered with a history in working in other families business, with great success. Her interest in organic and locally grown foods stems from her experience with her “ADHD” son and treating him with healthy, unprocessed foods rather than medication such as Ritalin. Her success with this idea in her home has created a “steps from the planet” thought process she incorporates into the health of her family and she intends to spread this interest with creation of the Suburban Harvest store.
Together they are raising a family based on time together with a cornerstone of healthy food and habits and Suburban Harvest is a natural way to profit from something love in a town they love.
