Since winning the Best Front Line Worker category in the Traverse Magazine Red Hot Best 2021 competition, Traverse Bay Farms and Andy LaPointe will now compete to win the entire category in the Fall 2021 Best of the Best Competition. Traverse Bay Farms offers cherry juice, cherry capsules, gourmet salsa, apple barbecue sauce and more.

According to Andy LaPointe, “It was an honor to win 1st place for the Front-Line Worker category for the Charlevoix & the Chain of Lakes: Antrim and Charlevoix County region. Our mission is to provide best-in-class customer service when customers visit our two retail stores, call us on the phone or visit our website at www.traversebayfarms.com.”

Mr. LaPointe continued, “We look forward to competing against others in the Fall 2021 competition. No matter who ultimately wins, it show northern Michigan businesses are dedicated to offering best-of-class customer service.  The key to our success is realizing many families vacationing Up North want to experience everything Northern Michigan has to offer while they are here. Vacationers and locals want to truly enjoy as much local produce as possible. They look for cherry juice, fun local facts and great tasting recipes they can enjoy with every meal of the day. The local residents really enjoy visiting our store and talking with our friendly staff. They we support our great Elk Rapids community.”
