About us Founded in 2007, Grow Benzie is a non-profit community center located in rural Benzie County. Formerly a commercial nursery with three 5,000 sqft hoophouses, a 3,200 sqft ranch house, and a 6,500 sqft retail building- we now have dozens of partners utilizing our campus for year-round public events: potlucks and concerts, classes and workshops including gardening (in our hoop houses), culinary and nutrition (in our commercial kitchen), sewing and knitting (in our sewing studio), and a weekly farmers market (in our community center and picnic area). Our 4-acre campus includes an event center, commercial kitchen, shared office space, incubator farm, bee yard, MakerSpace, sewing studio, community garden & farmers market. Partner organizations offer year round programs and events for youth & adults.
