Join Michigan State University Extension on a Farm Mentor Tour at Of the Land, a diversified farm and event destination owned and operated by Trent Thompson and Bridgett Blough. Over the past 15 years, Trent and Bridgett have grown their operation from a small organic vegetable farm into a multifaceted enterprise that includes vegetable and flower production, farm-to-table catering, weddings and events, community programming, and local food distribution. During this tour, participants will explore how strategic diversification has helped create new opportunities for growth while strengthening the farm’s connection to the surrounding community.
