Walking the Walk: Bold Steps Toward a Regional Food System

MISSION: The NMSFC serves as a vehicle to promote and build a local vibrant agriculture community, to equip the small farm community with the tools to be successful, and to be a forum for the open exchange of ideas within the small farm community. This is accomplished primarily through the annual conference in January, but is also accomplished through the support of other education opportunities throughout the year.
Goals:
- To provide an outstanding educational event that meets the needs of the attendees of the conference.
- Provide a forum for the open exchange of ideas within the small farm community.
- Support small farm educational programs throughout the year.
- Help to build a local network of small farms, community businesses, and local government for the expressed purpose of building the local food economy.

9 Bean Rows Opens Bakery
Jen and Nic Welty of 9 Bean Rows opened their Traverse City bakery on Front St. earlier this week. Over the past couple years they've offered Jen's delicious croissants, tarts, breads and other baked goods at local farmer's markets, but the new storefront gives them a welcome presence throughout the week. Today we tried the cream cheese croissant and Jen's "new favorite pastry" a brioche royale. This muffin-sized brioche is filled with pastry cream, cinnamon and raisins and is soaked in a simple syrup. It sounds so rich, but was surprisingly light. And the combination of cream cheese, croissant and powdered sugar was a big hit too. To satisfy your sweet tooth, or to grab a loaf of bread, make sure to stop by. The bakery is open Tuesday-Saturday from 7 a.m. until noon. You'll find it as 439 E Front St. where the Cooks' House used to be. (And don't worry...the Cooks' House is still here. They just relocated to the Wellington Market around the corner on Wellington.)
