Tell us the basic information about your business.
WhistleStop Farms offers 420-friendly secluded camping across the street from the beach, paddling, fishing, biking, hiking and more. We have several campsites with parking & can accommodate 1-100 people. The sites are rustic – meaning no electricity, water, or sewer. You pack in and pack out. We operate on a working farm with heavy equipment and animals, and while pets are allowed, they must be kept on a leash.

Why did you get into the cannabis business?
We have been growing organic cannabis indoors and out since 1996 and have operated several local cannabis businesses over the years.
It was a natural transition to the regulated industry in 2008 when Michigan voted on Proposal 1 to legalize medical marijuana and give patients the protection they deserved.
