The program site is located at the heart of a developing “food
region” near markets in Traverse City, Petoskey and the Leelanau
Peninsula.
Resident farmers are provided with three years' access to land,
equipment and a network of technical and business advice. This is
not an internship opportunity—it is a chance for experienced
but landless farmers to manage their own business on the Grand
Traverse Regional Land Conservancy's Maple Bay Farm, just south of
Elk Rapids, Michigan.
Applications for the 2016 growing season are due on October 15,
2015. Applications will be accepted each fall to bring new
residents to the farm.
For more information, or to apply to the program, go the ISLAND
Farmer Residency Program website, or contact me at [log in to unmask].
Thanks,
Larry Dyer
