Bellaire · Farmers Market

Bellaire Farmers Market runs on Maple Street in downtown Bellaire, the Antrim County seat in Michigan's Chain of Lakes region near Torch Lake. Like most markets this far north, it works a summer-only schedule matched to the region's short growing season.

Bellaire · Farmers Market

Bellaire Winter Farmers Market moves indoors on North Bridge Street, a few blocks from the town's summer market on Maple Street. Winter markets like this one are how small Northern Michigan towns keep producers selling — baked goods, preserves, stored root crops — after the outdoor growing season ends.

Central Lake · CSA Farm, Meat Farm

East Jordan · CSA Farm, Egg Farm

We learned about cold weather farming from other farmers. Before Bluestem Farm, we worked on a biodynamic farm outside St. Petersburg, Russia. Then a diversified organic raw-milk dairy in northern New England. Even when we lived in New York City, we kept chickens and had a container garden. We moved around a lot, but it looks like farming just kept following us.

Elk Rapids · Agritourism Farm, Produce Farm

Guntzviller's has sold berries from a roadside stand on US-31 south of Elk Rapids since the 1970s, starting with strawberries and raspberries before adding blueberries, cherries, and blackberries. Since 2009 the stand has carried summer vegetables too — asparagus, broccoli, carrots, peas, tomatoes — plus fall stone fruit like peaches and plums. The farm also sets up at farmers markets around the Grand Traverse region, including Traverse City and Elk Rapids itself.

It's open seasonally, Memorial Day through December, Monday through Saturday 9am-6pm and Sunday 11am-4pm.
