Farm Fresh & Foodies
The rolling hills and dunes of Harbor Country, officially known as the Lake Michigan Shore Appellation, have grown produce with first-class taste and outstanding appearance for over 100 years. On the same latitude and leeward juxtaposition to a large body of water, the terroir is similar to growing regions in Europe and Napa.
The result is bountiful fruit and grapes to make award-winning wines. Famous chefs chose to create here establishing strong direct farm-to-table relationships with local farmers who provide grass-fed beef and the finest variety of vegetables. Farmers Markets abound with hand picked produce, honey, cheeses, jams, meats, baked goods - the list is endless.
