Traverse Bay Farms Celebrates Commitment to Local Sourcing and Community Support

Traverse Bay Farms, winner of 42+ national food awards, is proud to announce its ongoing commitment to sourcing as much local ingredients as possible from local farmers and producers. As part of our dedication to quality, sustainability, and community, we continue to prioritize partnerships to bring the best of Michigan’s harvest and the harvest of American farmers to our customers.

For years, Traverse Bay Farms has been rooted in the belief that the most flavorful ingredients come from local and American family farms. By using as much local ingredients as possible, we know that our products are not only delicious but also support the livelihoods of those who make our region and farms across America so special.

“Our connection to high quality ingredients is at the heart of everything we do,” said Andy LaPointe, of Traverse Bay Farms. “By sourcing  using as much local ingredients as possible, we deliver quality of our products while also contributing to the sustainability and economic well-being of our region and family farms across America. It’s a win-win for us and our customers.”

Why Local Matters

• Small Batch Production: Smaller production batches means product is produced more often, thus delivering great taste and freshness.
• Supporting Local Farmers: By supporting American farmers, Traverse Bay Farms helps sustain family farms and strengthens the economy.
