Join the only Farm Cooperative in Northern Michigan to tour two of their member farms: Lakeview Hills Farm and 9 Bean Rows. Along the tour you’ll hear how the co-op works to get products from local farms into area restaurants, while also supporting chefs who prioritize using local and seasonal produce on their menus. By touring two working farms you'll get an up-close look at how your fruits and veggies get from the soil to your plate; whether at a restaurant or in your own home. To complete the circle, you'll enjoy lunch at the 9 Bean Bakery & Cafe in Suttons Bay.
