A Farm Market with a Side of History

Stuff We Love
Aug. 5, 2023

Looking for a new farm market to explore? Lakeview Hill Farm has officially opened their brand-new storefront at 8236 E. Lakeview Hills Road just outside Traverse City (and conveniently close to the Leelanau Trail!). The market is housed in the 1890s-era Pleasant Valley Schoolhouse—a former one-room school in Leelanau County. Lakeview Hill owners John Dindia and Bailey Samp purchased the restored schoolhouse property in 2022 and have been working to get it up and running for the market ever since. You’ll find Lakeview Hill Farm produce alongside seasonal hauls from other farms, Stockist coffee, and pastries and breads from local favorites like 9 Bean Rows and Sugar2Salt, plus other food and homegoods to explore. (And don’t miss other cool buys like mini bouquets from the flower section of the farm!) The market is open from 9am-6pm Monday through Saturday and closed Sundays.
