Horton Bay Heritage Farm

 We grow fresh, seasonal produce using minimal-till and regenerative farming practices that prioritize soil health, nutrient density, and ecological balance. Our vegetables are grown without synthetic chemicals and harvested at peak freshness as part of a diversified, sustainable farm system.

 Our on-farm plant nursery grows hardy garden plants suited to Northern Michigan, including vegetable starts, perennials, shrubs, and edible plants. We propagate using seeds, cuttings, and divisions, producing resilient nursery stock grown on-site in our greenhouse and outdoor growing areas. 

 We grow farm-fresh cut flowers and floral accents using sustainable growing practices. Our seasonal selection includes annuals, perennials, foliage, and specialty stems for bouquets, DIY flower buckets, and seasonal floral offerings grown on our farm. 

 We raise heritage-breed livestock on pasture using rotational grazing systems that support animal health, soil regeneration, and biodiversity. Our farm includes Dexter cattle, Katahdin sheep, poultry, and rabbits raised as part of a diversified, regenerative farming system. 

 Our demonstration gardens showcase practical, regenerative growing systems in action, including a food forest, kitchen herb garden, pollinator plantings, and hedgerows. These gardens highlight methods that integrate productivity, biodiversity, and ecological resilience on a working Northern Michigan farm. 

At Horton Bay Heritage Farm, we believe in sustainable farming practices that promote the health of our land, our crops, and our customers. We use natural fertilizers and pest control methods, rotate our crops, and conserve water to ensure that our farming practices are environmentally responsible.
