Seeds & Spores Family Farm
Diversified regenerative family farm. Top products: shiitake mushrooms, grass-fed beef, seasonal vegetables. Seeds & Spores Family Farm is a established agricultural operation based in Chocolay Township, Michigan, with twenty-nine years of experience in the region. The farm functions as a diversified, regenerative enterprise, focusing on 'beyond organic' cultivation methods. Their production infrastructure includes five acres of field crops and twelve hoop houses, all managed through soil-centric practices that incorporate compost, minerals, kelp, and Bio-Dynamic preparations. The farm operates on a holistic model that integrates vegetable and fruit production, culinary and botanical herb cultivation, and shiitake mushroom farming alongside livestock management. Their animal husbandry includes grass-fed beef cattle and pasture-raised heritage breed hogs and poultry, fed with on-site mixed organic feed. The farm adds value to its raw produce through a certified processing kitchen and wood-fired oven. Distribution is primarily local, serving the Marquette community through a robust CSA program, regional farmers' markets, local retail co-ops, and direct-to-consumer sales via their online 'Farmazon' platform.
