ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — You’ve heard of the farm-to-table movement. How about farm-to-bar?
Ed Dunneback and Girls Farm Marketon 6 Mile Road in Alpine Township has added a new product alongside its apples, cider and pumpkins this fall.
Stephanie Ginsberg, a fourth-generation Dunneback Girl, said they began growing hops on the farm for a local brewer about seven years ago.
“We quickly found out that it’s a lot of work to do for somebody else, so why not make our own beer?” Ginsberg said.
The beer and ciders are produced with hops and apples from the farm.
After getting all the training in the art of pouring and cutting through all the red tape required to brew, they started serving. It’s a new venture for the farm and is a sign of changing times.
