Seed to Sip

Planting The Seed

Our team grows a wide variety of Certified Organic speciality and heritage grains used across the midwest in distilling, brewing, malting, and milling. We’re not just producing high quality products; with each crop variety we produce, we’re telling a story about where our food comes from. We’re providing unique and specialty goods that make the story behind the food you eat one of experimentation and dedicated craftsmanship.

Find our grains, including a range of milled flours, beans, and other hearty grains, in our Farm Store or across the Michigan region with our partners.

In 2025 we are releasing a variety of distilled products including our inaugural dry gin, semi-sweet vermouth, and heritage bourbon. All of our spirits are available for purchase at our Farm Store and Dining Events. 

Inaugural Dry Gin

Our first dry gin releases on Thursday, May 22nd, 2025. This Granor take a on a classic is distilled from our organic, soft red winter wheat and botanicals grown on the farm. The Granor Dry Gin features a fresh, herbal juniper character balanced with notes of citrus and coriander, alongside celery leaf, lemon verbena, dill, thyme, and rosemary resulting in a gin that is distinctly of the farm. 

Our First Grain Harvest


During the fall of 2014, Granor Farm began its foray into cultivating organic grain with planting just a few acres of winter rye. In July of the following year, with a combine that predated World War II, and an undeniable amount of beginner’s luck, we successfully completed our first rye harvest.

Sipping Whiskey


In 2015 we discovered that our organic rye made for some pretty tasty whiskey. We’ve since modernized our equipment, increased our acreage, expanded our plantings from just rye to include wheat, spelt, oats, and corn, and constructed our own on-farm facilities for cleaning, drying, and storing.

Field to Barrel to Bottle


Over the last four years, we have set aside some of our rye and wheat harvest for our own whiskey, currently aging in American White Oak barrels, with the remainder of our grains used by a local distillery, nearby breweries, and organic livestock producers. Later this year, Granor Farm plans to bottle its own whiskey, which will be available on a very limited basis.

Grain Philosophy


As with all of our crops, we believe that our grains must be produced in a way that is good for our soil, good for the people that tend it, and good for those in our community who share in the harvest with us.
