local farmers & producers

We work with over 45 local producers, all from right here in the Upper Peninsula. Our shelves are stocked with items grown and crafted with care by our neighbors, bringing a taste of the UP to you and your loved ones.

These partnerships are about more than just filling our shelves with local products—they’re about fostering relationships with the farmers, bakers, and artisans who put their hearts into their work. By supporting them we are nourishing our community; driving local economic growth and reducing our carbon footprint. It’s about supporting our neighbors and the benefits that come from helping one another. We’re proud to share their work with you, knowing that every choice we make together strengthens our community.

Other producers not included in the above slider can be seen here.
