The local food movement is not a new trend in Northern Michigan. For decades, visitors have come Up North to dine on our specialties like planked whitefish or visit farm markets for our cherries or apples. Northern Michigan's unique climate makes the produce that grows here simply spectacular.
Visit one of Northern Michigan's many city-supported Farmer's Markets. Harbor Springs hosts one as do the cities of Petoskey, Boyne City, Charlevoix and Indian River. Or visit one of the many farm markets where the food is grown. Local foods? You bet! This is the place for enjoying local foods!!
