Dion Stepanski has owned and operated Presque Isle Farm with his wife Molly in northeast Michigan since 2014. Presque Isle Farm is a small, certified organic farm that focuses on direct to customer and restaurant sales. Dion manages and oversees all the production needs of the farm. He had little farming experience before getting started but has used his entrepreneurial drive to build a successful farm business in rural Michigan. His background is in music and he spent almost fifteen years playing professionally all over the United States before deciding to move home and re-establish the family Centennial farm with Molly. Within the last year, Dion has spoken at several farming conferences throughout Michigan including the Northern Michigan Small Farm Conference, the Great Lakes Expo, and the Alcona Regional Farm Conference to share his unique perspective on starting a small northern Michigan farm from scratch.
