1/4 lb of black garlic goodness! Black garlic is simply fermented garlic. It’s seriously like candy… you can’t eat just one! Don’t believe me try it for yourself. We love adding this to your basic egg sandwich, popin them on a simple cheese pizza, chop up and throw it into your favorite past...

It is not often that I find myself at a loss for words but this left me speechless. If you know me you know I’m not one to share or bring much attention to myself. I’d rather hear more about you than talk about myself and I’m a total introvert. So when approached to share our story along side all these incredible women throughout Northern Michigan living their dreams my gut reaction was NO! Crazy right?!? But when I sat down and really thought about it I found myself saying why not??? What we have built through all the blood, sweat, tears, beers and little long ears is something I’m proud of and there are women just like me out there that feel the way I do that need to be inspired to share! So… here’s how it turned out! I am honored not only to share this issue with so many incredible hard working women throughout Northern Michigan but also to grace the cover with my best donkey Ollie 💙 . It is with gratitude that I thank you for this incredible opportunity. I grew personally and professionally being a part of this issue and again found myself way out of my comfort zones ❤️
