Pond Hill Farm

Harbor Springs, Michigan Is the Best Small U.S. Town for a Lake Vacation in 2024

"A sprawling 198-acre agricultural and recreational compound that grew from a roadside egg stand into an organic farm, vineyard and winery, brick-oven pizzeria, taproom, lumber mill, woodshop, hiking trails, live-music stage and wedding venue. Owner Jimmy Spencer has built a largely self-contained operation—estate-grown grapes for the label, farm produce for the restaurant, forested acres fueling the mill—and keeps many hand-built activities free to the public; offerings range from human foosball and apple-cannon entertainment to a gnome scavenger hunt. Food highlights include a famed Parmesan-crusted pesto grilled cheese and the estate St. Pepin wine, noted for its floral character and apricot notes." - Leilani Marie Labong Leilani Marie Labong Leilani Marie Labong is a San Francisco-based journalist who focuses on food, design, and travel.
