ABOUT LIGHT OF DAY ORGANIC FARM AND TEA SHOP:

We are a Northern Michigan company, located in gorgeous Leelanau County, about 8 miles from Lake Michigan and The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (just voted the most beautiful place in North America!). Our farm and retail store are OPEN on Fridays and Saturdays from 10-6 and we look forward to your visit!

The beginning: Our company was founded by Angela Macke in 2003. Her background in Holistic health, as both Registered Nurse, and Horticulturalist, plus her own positive experience of utilizing gentle, natural rhythms to restore balance in her own life as she managed an auto-immune disease she was experiencing, played an integral role in the intuitive creation of each and every blend of Tea and Tisane. She believes that a holistic approach is the most effective way to restore optimal health and a sense of well being.

Truth in marketing: We believe in honest tea and honest advertising here at Light of Day Organic Farm and Tea Shop. We constructed our facilities her from lumber harvested here on the farm, and encourage you and your loved ones to come here and enjoy a complimentary cup of tea, walk the gardens and steep your soul in the abundant beauty here. With so much confusion in the marketplace about what "local" really is- please come verify the authenticity for yourself.

Appreciation: Our intention is to honor all of those involved in bringing this extremely labor-intensive crop from the fields to your cup: paying all involved a proper living wage, and encouraging the spiritual sacredness of community, here and abroad. Our team members live a "Green" lifestyle, and we strive to promote other companies that support an ecologically sound alternative. We were named "Green Pioneers" in this area, and our founder, Angela Macke, was awarded the designation of "Environmentalist of the Year for business," and Light of Day Organics was just awarded "Best Small Business" in this region of Michigan.


Our land: Our team of experienced Master Gardeners and Nurserymen have been growing organic herbs and flowers in the area since 1996. Our land, processing kitchen and products are both certified organic (Stellar certification Services) and Demeter certified Biodynamic. Conscientious packaging: We believe in presenting these products in their most natural, loose form. They have been packaged in lovely, U.S-manufactured, polished silver tins or foil-lined kraft bags (for bulk offerings) to protect them from the elements. We use a local designer, & local printer for full color soy-based ink labels, marketing materials and packaging supplies. We are members of Coop-Green America, and minimize paper use and waste here in the office.

Production/ Certification: Our products are grown on certified organic land, harvested by hand, dried to a very low moisture content, and then packaged with great care, in our licensed facility (Michigan Dept. of Agriculture, National Organic Program, Stellar certification services and Demeter Biodynamic) here in Northern Michigan. We blend all of our private recipe teas in small batches to promote consistency and maximize freshness.

It is Light of Day's sincere intention that you may enjoy balance...with superb health, inner peace, true joy, and enlightenment. We hope that you will discover, and hopefully learn to cherish, the ancient ritual of having a spot of tea.

For us, Tea is more than a life-enriching beverage; it is a representation of the conscious choice to live simply, and to live each day with integrity. To us, integrity means ensuring the highest quality of Tea for you and life for those who bring it to us.
