Welcome to Cut River Farm

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

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

We also farm ideas.

We create practical digital guides that help families and young adults navigate real-world experience, education, food, and modern life with clarity.

Some days that looks like a steaming cup of pine needle tea.
Other days it looks like a guide that helps someone take their next confident step after high school.

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

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