Brownwood Farms
Traverse City, Michigan
Brownwood Farms, an old fashioned idea, has evolved into a premier specialty food producer in Northern Michigan. On the shores of Torch Lake in 1945, Mary Louis Morse created some of America's firsts in finest flavors; Cherry Butter and Kream Mustard. Today's Brownwood continues the old fashioned way; small batches, hand measured, gently stirred without automation. Kream Mustard and Cherry Butter, 60 year old favorites, have now joined over forty new fine food products.
