MI Farm Mentors — Of the Land

Join us in Battle Creek, Michigan, for a visit to Of The Land, a diversified farm and event destination owned and operated by Trent Thompson and Bridgett Blough. Over the past 15 years, Trent and Bridgett have grown their operation from a small organic vegetable farm into a multifaceted enterprise that includes vegetable and flower production, farm-to-table catering, weddings and events, community programming, and local food distribution. During this tour, participants will explore how strategic diversification has helped create new opportunities for growth while strengthening the farm’s connection to the surrounding community. Trent will share lessons learned from building multiple complementary enterprises, developing new revenue streams, and adapting their business over time. The tour will include a behind-the-scenes look at the farm, event spaces, and food-focused enterprises that make Of The Land an excellent example of agricultural entrepreneurship and innovation.
