Farm Store
Michigan makers we love, all under one roof. Come wander.
Shop by category
Cherry Goods
Cherry Republic
Bob Sutherland opened his first cherry shop in Glen Arbor in 1989. They now expand across the state, and a cut of every sale still goes to Michigan farmers and land preservation.
Oils & Vinegars
Fustini’s
Named for the old Italian steel drums used to store fine oils, Jim Milligan opened the first tasting room in Traverse City in 2008. 1% of every sale still funds healthy food access.
Chips & Snacks
Great Lakes Potato Chips
Ed Girrbach and his son once hauled 1,500 pounds of Michigan potatoes home in a pickup bed to make the first batch, and are now a household name. Skin-on, small-batch, a little extra zip.
Preserves & Sauces
Food For Thought
Small batches in a Honor kitchen since 1995 — the Blueberry Lavender won a national Good Food Award. Perfect for any breakfast.
Cheese
Leelanau Cheese
Cave-aged raclette from Suttons Bay, made the same way since John and Anne Hoyt started it in 1995.
Ice Cream
Moomers
Started on the family dairy farm outside Traverse City in 1998. Good Morning America once called it America's best scoop shop, and we agree.
Craft Spirits
Iron Fish Distillery
Grain grown and spirits distilled on the same 120-acre farm near the Betsie River. Owners hail from Saginaw, and we love what they're doing for northern Michigan.
Dips & Spreads
Natural Northern Foods
Lori started selling salsa at a Traverse City farmers market in 2005. Now, her spreads are some of our best selling products. No preservatives, small batches, still hand-made.
Bakery & Market
Farm Club
Ninety percent of what's on the menu grows on their own Leelanau land, as "Farm to Table" as it gets. They call it a party in the garden.
Gluten-Free Bakery
Third Coast Bakery
Heather Burson started baking gluten-free for her own family and friends. Everything here is gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, so nobody has to sit out during dessert.
Shortbread
Shortie's
Stacie Lichty bakes these in a shared Traverse City kitchen with locally milled flour and real lavender. Pairs well with wine or cheese, by her own account.
Raw Honey
Sleeping Bear Farms
Kirk and Sharon Jones started with two hives of bees in 1979. They once pulled the back seat out of the car just to fit more honey jars for delivery. Cinnamon honey? Come on.
Pretzels
American Gourmet
One Essexville family has been perfecting this pretzel recipe since 1981, 44 years on the same one.
Coffee
Chunky Bear Coffee Roasters
Cadillac residents Jim and Lesa Wade talked about opening a coffee roastery for fifteen years before they finally did it, in 2020.
Popcorn
Kernel Benny's
Started as a single popcorn cart at a Frankenmuth farmers market, built to give a young man named Ben some purpose and a job after a bad accident. Now it's a full storefront. All the smells.
Tea & Spice
Great Lakes Tea & Spice
Chris and Heather Sack started this in a ten-by-ten Glen Arbor shed in 2006 — they've since blended spices for Top Chef's Padma Lakshmi. Bring your sense of adventure.
Soup Mixes
Motown Soup
Every soup mix here is volunteer-made, and every dollar of profit goes to Michigan food banks and shelters.
Candy
Michi-Gummies
Kevin started Shurms Candy in 2012 with his wife Jackie, then launched these Michigan-shaped gummies in 2018. Both peninsulas, six flavors.
