Wickwood’s Farm To Table Offerings Celebrate Saugatuck, Michigan’s Local Farms

Wickwood Inn can create farm to table foods for guests because Saugatuck, Michigan’s local farms are rock stars! Our Great State is the second most diverse state in the country agriculturally. Michigan’s local farms produce a lot of fresh local foods. And because of the generations of local producers in the Saugatuck Douglas area, we often buy direct from our local artisans. Hence, we provide Wickwood Inn guests with the freshest meat, cheese, fruits, vegetables, breads and even local flowers whenever we can!

Michigan’s local farms astound us every year with the best they can grow or produce.  They earn the title of rock star in our eyes.  And, it’s not just vegetables and fruits that we buy from our local farms and farmers markets.  We love the fresh lettuces and vibrant greens available nearly year-round from Mud Lake Farms.  The best fresh and aged cheeses on Wickwood Inn’s farm-to-table buffet come from Evergreen Lane Farm & Creamery. Kismet Farm Bakery bakes delicious breads that give joy to our guests every day.  And if you haven’t heard how happily floral crazy we are around here, read this blog post to see how Wickwood Inn blooms in the spring, and all year long!  Because we fill the inn with flowers from our local flower growers whenever we can.
