It's just a farm visit kinda month. You take this tour in a little buggy or orv. You visit the momma and young yaks, and then you visit the guys on a separate pasture. Fascinating creatures, you do get out of the buggy one time , but, sorry no petting of yaks occurs. However, you can feel their fur in the gift shop after your tour is concluded. Smart business model, 5$ tour lasts about 45 min to an hour. At the gift store you'll find knitted hats, yak socks, tshirts etc. Plus, yak burgers. My mother said they were good, very lean.

I usually prefer tea bags; lecture me until my ears fall off but for I'm usually fine with sacrificing tea quality for the simplicity and convenience of a teabag. Light of Day teas, however, make me a believer in the magic of carefully blended, high quality tea. I used the Creamy Earl Grey tea to bribe myself to do the most mind-numbingly dense readings for my grad school courses, or for simply getting up and dressed for class on a grey winter morning. It's a true treat, and worth the high price. In addition to being absolutely delicious (black or with milk, sweetened or unsweetened), the tea and nearly all of the ingredients were grown at the Light of Day farm, which is certified biodynamic and right here in Michigan! Having originally tasted and fallen in love with Light of Day teas served on campus at the University of Michigan School of Public Health cafe, my friends and I made sure to visit the store during a trip up north. We felt like (grown) kids in a (healthy) candy shop -- there were so many kinds of tea, and they all sounded amazing! We all bought tins of tea for ourselves and as holiday gifts for friends/relatives, and also had a round of matcha shots, which were delicious. We strolled around the garden near the shop, but in warmer weather be sure to see the farm!

Well to be honest, after a solid late breakfast, dinner entrees ideas never crossed my mind. As we drove through Walloon Lake I posed the question "how does Lake Street Market in B.C. sound?" POW - I managed to hit the home run. Darted in their front door only to find myself alone with the busy staff tending their assigned tasks. Place our carryout order & started to browse the abundant offerings displayed. The aromas drifting from their baking oven in the back were hypnotic. Love the staggered floors which add to LSM's local charm. Our wraps were ready within 5-7 minutes, icy cold Cherry lemonade and I'm out the door. Used my fingers to grab the last of the olive tapenade that managed to escape - yup pure yummy
