“When one has tasted watermelons one knows what angels eat.”
~ Mark Twain
At Wickwood, we are longstanding, proud supporters of those we consider to be the true rock stars of the food world: our farmers. Michigan is the second most diverse state in the country when it comes to the variety of crops we grow. We’re lucky, in Saugatuck, to live amidst farmers with long generations of traditions, and farms with some of the richest black soil in the state, in a microclimate with an extended growing season warmed by the breezes of Lake Michigan.
For the last twenty five years, we have constantly visited our friends at their farms, in the fields, and at their roadside stands to gather the best of each season. Sometimes we have to go farther afield. We’re inspired as we shop. We take those ingredients back to the kitchen and start cooking from scratch. Our aim is for explosive flavors with every bite.
