Shop Local in Northern Michigan
Shop Local has never been more important than in 2020. Not only to support our neighbors, who have struggled with the ups and downs of this year, but consider gifting a little piece of home to loved ones who may not be able to visit this holiday season.

Summer Cherries & Honey from the Hallstedt Farm
Hallstedt Homestead is a ‘small’ twenty-five acre cherry farm in Northport. With a focus on U-Pick Cherries and Flowers in the summer, 2020 provided the opportunity to develop a direct-ship line of business for those who could not come hand-pick cherries themselves.
The Holiday Box includes a gift card for either a 2lb or 4lb box of cherries when your choice from one of eight varieties is ready in 2021 plus a jar of honey from the pollinator bees who helped produce last year’s cherries. You can also give the gift of a Cherry or Flower CSA or Gift Card for your giftee to choose.
