General Location and Map

Cotton Creek Farms is in Northwestern Michigan, just south of Traverse City and north of Cadillac. The farm is located on the border of Buckley and Thompsonville and the county line of Grand Traverse and Wexford County. In reality, the physical farm is in Buckley and our mailbox is across the road in Thompsonville. Yep folks, that is country living.
