Honey harvesting on the peninsula

The Leelanau peninsula is known for its beauty, from the waters that surround it and the orchards that produce fruit, to the farms that grow vegetables and flowers that so many people enjoy. Harvests for these homegrown crops are made possible by so many variables, including pollinators like bees. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

All Leelanau meal = delicious

The fruit of seeds planted long before the soil warms are now ready to harvest. Leelanau is a “foodie’s” dream in mid-to-late August — the best time of the year for those who appreciate fresh, local food. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM

Farmers anxious at harvest time

Harvest brings about a range of emotion for farmers including pride, gratification, contentment — and when prices for crops are low, anxiousness. As corn ripens, apples swell and the last few sweet cherries are picked, it’s an anxious time for farmers in Leelanau County and across the nation. 08/14/2024 04:33 PM
