This silent auction item will be presented for final bidding at our annual picnic on Thursday, August 6th.

Join us for an experience unique only to Cherry Basket Farm as we harvest items from the beautiful fields on the property. 9 Bean Rows' own Nic Welty will give of tour of the fields at "the basket" and assist guests in the harvesting of items that will be incorporated into the meal. Chef Andy Schudlich will craft a menu unique to your personal preferences and the seasonal items harvested.  

Cherry Basket Farm is a restored 100-year-old farm just north of the historic village of Omena in Leelanau County, Michigan. The farm is located on M-22 between Suttons Bay and Northport, approximately 30 minutes north of Traverse City, Michigan.  Mature hardwoods, cherry orchards, and farmland surround the farm.

In addition to an award winning restaurant and bakery, 9 Bean Rows is a CSA farmstead, focusing on no-till and chemical free farming practices. From their website:

As food enthusiasts, we appreciate the delicacy of freshly harvested foods. In turn, we harvest at low temperatures with minimal handling to ensure the highest quality produce. These policies are not only important for the good of the world, but also to ensure that delectable, high-quality, nutritious vegetables make their way from our farm to your plate.”
