ABOUT THIS DIRECTORY

First produced in 1979 by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, the purpose of this directory is to support Michigan farmers by attracting visitors to farms across the state. Since 2008, Michigan Agritourism has been producing the directory showcasing the amazing and diverse agricultural experiences. What has become an important tool in support of local farmers has also become an incredible tool for our community members, and especially our children, to discover, experience and learn.

Produced and printed in Michigan with authentic photos from Michigan farms.

PARTNERS

Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan

MichFB.com

Farm Bureau Insurance of Michigan was founded in 1949 by Michigan farmers who wanted an insurance company that worked as hard as they did.

Farm Bureau Insurance agents provide a full range of insurance services—life, home, auto, farm, business, Lake Estate®, and more—protecting Michigan residents and businesses with more than 660,000 policies.

The Michigan Apple Committee engages marketing, research, education and communications for the benefit of Michigan’s apple growers. Apples are one of the largest and most valuable fruit crops in Michigan. With about 20 varieties of apple commercially available, you can be sure to find a flavor perfect for you. Warm, sunny summers and cool fall nights and plenty of moisture from the Great Lakes create crisp, flavorful apples. No wonder Michigan is the place where apples love to grow!

Michigan Craft Beverage Council

michigan.gov/mdard

“The Michigan Craft Beverage Council was recently established to provide for research into Michigan agricultural products, such as wine grapes, fruits, hops and barley, that are used in the production of Michigan wine, cider, beer, spirits and mixed spirit drinks. Linking these agricultural products to consumers through local wineries, craft breweries, and distilleries provides the opportunity to experience and promote Michigan’s agricultural diversity through craft beverages.”
