Item Special Note
Mario Batali loves Leelanau County and has raised over $500,000 to help protect our working farms and agricultural heritage. He says he helps to raise funds for farmland because:
“Among the most significant is my love for the unspoiled beauty and rural character of American farmland on the Leelanau Peninsula that could easily disappear without constant thought and management. Local foods and wines are not only delicious and nutritious, but their mere existence here is a major economic driver in gastro-tourism, and they have a very positive effect on the perception and inspiration of the Cherry capital across the entire country. Small farming is the backbone of American culture and a way of life that could easily slip away to big farming interests, or worse yet housing developments, if not properly cared for. My family counts on the Leelanau Peninsula’s farmland to keep it real for us. Even when we are jammed up on the streets of Manhattan, we always know we can be back where we belong in a single day’s drive that takes us a million miles away.”
