Boyne Falls

Boyne Falls

Moyer Creek Farms runs a farm stand about four miles south of Boyne Mountain along US 131, selling locally grown produce and seasonal items. In fall, the field opens for u-pick pumpkin picking alongside pre-gathered pumpkins at the stand, and the farm shows up on northern Michigan's seasonal fall-fun listings. Cash and check are accepted; hours follow the season.

The Farmers Table is listed as a Michigan food business. The name suggests a farm-to-table restaurant or market, though which one isn't confirmed in public listings.

Coveyou Scenic Farm Market sells organic produce, Michigan-made grocery goods, and annual and perennial flowers from a historic barn on US-131 south of Petoskey, overlooking Walloon Lake. The operation traces back to 1874, a century and a half of family farming on the same ground. Beyond the market stand, it carries Amish-made outdoor furniture and local art, and runs a seasonal produce membership starting at $100 a month.

Petoskey

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.

Grayling

Grayling's Back To Our Roots Farmers Market runs indoors at 6811 West M-72 Highway, Thursdays 10am-5pm and Saturdays 10am-3pm, spring through fall. It's listed with the Michigan Farmers Market Association and stocks produce, baked goods, honey, prepared foods, and artisan goods. Crawford County's growing season is short, so vendor variety leans heavily on preserved and prepared goods alongside fresh produce.

Petoskey

Old Town Emmet Farm Market runs Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., late May through mid-October, at the Friendship Center parking lot on Anderson Road in Petoskey, after relocating from its original downtown Emmet Street spot. Manager Tricia oversees vendors selling vegetables, fruit, pies, muffins, baklava, honey, maple syrup, flowers, and Cottage Food Law baked goods.

Bonnieview Farms runs an active website, bonnieviewfarms.com, though it doesn't publicly list specific products, location, or hours for the Michigan operation.

Petoskey

Dennis Farms sits on Blackbird Road outside Petoskey, in Emmet County's stretch of northern Michigan farmland along Little Traverse Bay. It's registered as an agritourism stop, but no website or listing spells out what's open to visitors or when — call ahead before making the drive.

The market is organized by the Petoskey Regional Chamber of Commerce, which also manages the seasonal vendor waitlist.

East Jordan

Bluestem Farm is an organic year-round farm outside East Jordan, Michigan growing certified organic vegetables, pasture-raised chicken and eggs, and heritage-breed pork. Summer and winter farm subscriptions let members choose exactly what goes in the box — or let the farmers decide — with delivery to nearby towns and flexible dates.

East Jordan

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.

Boyne City

Lavender Hill Farm sits on Horton Bay Road north of Boyne City, growing lavender in the Lake Michigan-tempered climate that also supports Northern Michigan's cherry orchards. Lavender farms in this region typically open for picking in July.

Afton

Boyne City

Northern Michigan Equine Therapy is a nonprofit that uses horses as a therapeutic tool, delivering hippotherapy and its own HorseSense program through licensed professionals at an outpatient facility in Boyne City. Programs also serve at-risk youth and veterans. This is clinical therapy built around horse movement, not a farm visit.

Petoskey

Gypsy Farms Market runs seasonally at 5251 Charlevoix Avenue in Petoskey, with long daily hours that stretch into the evening, spring through fall. Vendors sell produce, baked goods, and artisan goods. Petoskey draws a heavy tourist season, and the extended hours here reflect that summer foot traffic along Charlevoix Avenue.

Torch Lake Co-op is a farmer-owned online grocery serving Bellaire, Elk Rapids, Alden, Rapid City, East Jordan, Central Lake, Williamsburg, and Traverse City, with delivery twice a week year-round or free pickup. Produce, beef, pork, dairy, prepared foods, honey, maple syrup, jams, and nursery plants come straight from member farms and area kitchens. The co-op accepts SNAP/EBT, WIC, and Senior Project FRESH, which puts it ahead of most online farm stores on food-access options.

Bellaire

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

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.

A year-round Cider & Wine Garden and nationwide shipping keep the farm running past harvest season.
