Indian River Grower's Market sets up in season along South Straits Highway, with vendors selling fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods, flowers, and other artisan goods. It accepts Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons, a detail most small Up North markets skip. The exact market day and lot have shifted between recent seasons, so calling ahead before a long drive is worth it.

Romanik's Ranch runs a three-quarter-mile trail through herds of buffalo and elk outside Levering, near Mackinaw City, with stops to feed the ranch animals and walk over a koi pond along the way. Fall brings a corn maze and pumpkin patch, and a gift shop rounds out the visit. It's less a working farm than a countryside animal park, worth building into a Mackinaw City day trip.
