We are thrilled to announce that in 2027 Granor Farm Spirits will be available in Traverse City.

Leading this exciting new development is our very own Abra Berens, who is transitioning to a new role with Granor as Director At-Large and returning to northern Michigan to launch Everyday Cookery—a teaching kitchen for home cooks.

Everyday Cookery will offer Granor Farm spirits and aperitifs as part of their classes, dinners, and events. Located in the historic and newly renovated Boardman Building, it is the site of Traverse City's oldest school and has been given new life through its preservation and redevelopment. 

We can’t wait to be a part of this new venture and introduce Traverse City to Granor's small-batch spirits distilled from our heirloom grains, strengthening the connection along Lake Michigan’s beautiful coastline and bringing a piece of Three Oaks to the north side of the state.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to 2027!

Ten seasons ago, Abra Berens joined the Granor Farm team to begin building a Dining Program, creating a new opportunity for people to engage with our farm. What began as two tables in the Farm House has evolved into a 70-seat, year-round culinary program comprising our flagship Taste of Granor Dinners, a full slate of Farm Store pantry staples, special programming with visiting chefs and authors, and weekly cooking classes—all the while further connecting our community with the team that grows, cooks, preserves, and distills the ingredients we cultivate.

Abra will remain with Granor, transitioning to the new role of Director At-Large. In this position, she will guide our long-term vision, driving strategic programming and providing high-level mentorship to our incredible Dining Team, led by Alex Skrzypczyk and Jayme Marsh.

While she and her husband Erik Hall unveil this new venture up north, Abra isn’t saying goodbye to Three Oaks. She will regularly return to Granor for collaborative dining events, holiday weekends, and exclusive spirit releases. We are delighted to support Abra in this new endeavor, and we look forward to welcoming her back to Granor for these special flagship weekends!
