Hi to all our former customers. As you’ll know we sold our business quite a few years ago. We still spend our summers in the area and would love to catch up with you. Private message me at Brenda Baggett Nousiainen and perhaps we can meet up next summer.

Happy 186 years Michigan! Now let's go do something a Michigander or a Yooper would do. Eat a pasty, or a coney dog. Visit Lake Superior, or Lake Huron. Visit Isle Royale, or Belle Isle. Watch Escanaba In Da Moonlight, or 8 Mile. Stay awesome and keep exploring Michigan.

The following poem was written by a friend. Thanks Tom!

BEST ICE CREAM EVER
MADE WITH LOVE
In a small quaint little Michigan town
Ice cream shop, known all around
Best in all the land, they all found
Fresh picked berries
Like they were picked by tiny wood fairies
Now, they served for 35 years
So many hugs and a few tears
Now, we can’t bring it back
But if you close your eyes, we will try to travel down that track
Now, you can feel the cones in your hand
Now, if you want a shake, in this line, please stand
As they meet and greet you by your first name
For there was no one better in the ice cream game
Now, feel free to visit here any time
This will always help your frame of mind
Now, if you want a cone, please stand behind that line
Feel free to get one in each hand, I do it all the time
They always left, on your face, a smile
For their special brand of ice cream and love, people would travel for miles

George and I no longer own The Berry Patch Ice Cream Shop. I left the page up for former customers to say hi. The FB site for the new owner is the one pictured below. We sure miss seeing all of you. Thanks for all the happy memories!

With mixed feelings, we would like to announce after 32 years of being in the ice cream business we have sold our shop. We will miss all of our customers, many whom have become dear friends that we look forward to seeing each year. The shop will be open this summer; the only difference will be the faces behind the counter. Please stop in, meet, Joe, the new owner, and be as kind to him as you have been to us over the years. We will miss you all, but now maybe you'll run into us on the other side of the counter.

Phase 1 of the Keweenaw Point Trail Project - Keweenaw, Michigan will finally open this summer! It's been a long time coming with years of work behind the scenes mapping, flagging, securing permits, and fundraising for trail construction but we are almost there. The trail crew will be contracted to finish construction this spring including the installation of a lengthy boardwalk. Once complete you'll be able to ride the ridgeline south of F***y Hooe from Manganese Road to Mandan Road (east of Fort Wilkins State Park). What's next you ask? Phase 2 (Mandan to High Rock)! DNR approval and permitting is underway and we have begun seeking funding for construction.
