Northern Michigan is shaped by food. Our orchards, farms and vineyards create the landscape. A burgeoning culinary scene defines many of our downtowns. And the agriculture, tourism and hospitality industries dominate our economies.

Chris Eberhart thinks eating wild game will save the sport of hunting. He hunts all over the world but returns to Clare to hunt whitetail deer every fall. He says traditions that rural communities have long maintained are suddenly becoming exciting again. Eberhart cooks everything from venison to bear bacon to crow pie. He writes books and blogs about wild food.
