The Glorie Be
The Glorie Be Farm Store in Petoskey, Michigan
The Glorie Be is a familiar old country store here on our farm, and bringing it back to life as part of Horton Bay Heritage Farm is a big part of our vision for the future. Our hope is to once again make this little store a place for locally grown food, plants, flowers and seasonal goods rooted in farm life here in Northern Michigan.
The Glorie Be Farm Store is not yet open for regular shopping as we continue building the farm and preparing the store for the future.
Our farm-grown goods are grown with organic practices, though we are not certified organic. We are happy to talk openly about our growing methods, pest control, soil care, and farm practices.

A Farm Store with Local History
A Name People Still Remember
For many longtime locals, The Glorie Be is a familiar name. That history is part of what makes this little store so special, and we love that its return means something to people who have known this area for years.
Honoring the Past While Building Something New
As part of Horton Bay Heritage Farm, The Glorie Be is being brought back to life in a new way — not as a copy of the past, but as a farm store rooted in local history, seasonal living, and the work of the farm today.
A Welcoming Stop on the Farm
Our hope is for The Glorie Be to become a place that draws people in — somewhere to discover locally grown food and goods, connect with the life of the farm, and experience a little of what makes this corner of Northern Michigan special.
The Vision For The Glorie Be
Plants and Garden Goods
We envision the Glorie Be as a natural extension of our farm and nursery, with seasonal plants, cut flowers and floral goods, along with useful and interesting finds for gardeners and growers.
Seasonal Farm & Local Foods
As our farm's annual and perennial food production grows, we hope the Glorie Be will offer a changing mix of fresh produce, fruit, berries, herbs, garlic and other foods grown here at Horton Bay Heritage Farm. Our vision also includes working with other Northern Michigan growers and producers to bring more locally grown and produced foods to the store.
A Bit of Northern Michigan Farmstead Life
Alongside food, plants and flowers, the Glorie Be may also include a thoughtful mix of simple goods that fit the spirit of the farm, the old ways we still value, and the beauty of seasonal living in Northern Michigan.
Connected to the Rest of the Farm
Rooted in What We Grow
The Glorie Be is being built around the life of Horton Bay Heritage Farm. From nursery plants and flowers to annual vegetables, perennial foods and other seasonal harvests, what we grow here will help shape what the store becomes.
A Store That Changes with the Season
Our vision is for the Glorie Be to follow the natural rhythm of the farm. What is available will change throughout the year, reflecting what's growing, blooming and being harvested here at the farm, along with seasonal offerings from other local growers and producers.
A Gateway to the Farm
We hope the Glorie Be will become a natural starting point for visitors to Horton Bay Heritage Farm—a place that connects people with the farm, our animals, demonstration gardens, seasonal experiences and the work happening across the land.
