Welcome to Cut River Farm

Tucked into the pine forests and quiet dirt roads of Northern Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, we harvest Eastern White Pine needles from our land and freeze-dry them to preserve their bright, citrusy forest flavor and natural vitamin C.

But Cut River Farm isn’t just a traditional farm.

Yes, there are muddy boots. Yes, there are woods and foraged things. And yes, there are chickens and a garden planted out back.

But we also farm ideas.

We grow digital books that help people navigate education, food, and modern life with clarity. We test paths. We map workarounds. We clear trails through complicated routes.

Some days that looks like a steaming cup of pine needle tea on a crisp morning.
Other days it looks like a practical guide that helps you rethink your next step.

Either way, it starts here — in the Northwoods — with intention.

From our family to yours, welcome to a farm that grows more than crops.
