Happy Monday y’all! It’s your weekly Meet the Team Monday post! Today we are excited to introduce you to our new Inn Keeper Samantha 🤩
When we asked her to share a little bit about herself, Samantha had this to share:
“Even though I am one of the newer employees, starting on March 1st of this year, I've waited a lifetime for this opportunity. I went to school for Hospitality Management with a focus in Event Planning, and then moved to Traverse City, MI from Dayton, OH to fulfill the position of Inn Guest Services Manager at Black Star Farms. With over 15 years of customer service experience and my love for all things people & wine, saying that this job is perfect for me is the understatement of the year. When I am not working, you can find me with a glass of Pinot Blanc (my favorite BSF wine) and teaching myself the correct ways to pronounce Leelanau & Petoskey 😄. I haven't had a lot of time to make memories here, but I've had enough time to know that there will be limitless amounts of them."
We are so lucky to have you as a part of the BSF family Samantha!
Want to meet Samantha and other rockstar leaders on our team in person? Come to our job fair tomorrow 4/27 from 3:00-5:00 PM at our Suttons Bay tasting room! 🥂

Happy Monday! We’re back for another Meet the Team Monday post 🤩
Please say hello to our amazing Stables Supervisor, Grace!
Grace came to us in 2016 as a stable hand. She has always had a passion for horses and the idea of being paid to be around them was a dream come true! Although Grace was hired to work in the stables, she stepped up to help the inn with housekeeping (talk about a rockstar team player!). What was supposed to last two weeks, ended up being two years, but in 2018 she returned to the stables, and in early 2021, took on the position of Stables Supervisor.
Did someone say horsepower? In her free time, Grace loves to ride her horse Liza (pictured above) who is boarded at Black Star Farms, and on the weekends, you can catch her drag racing her 1987 Firebird at Northern Michigan Dragway!
It’s never an easy task to pick one favorite thing about working at Black Star, but for Grace, it’s being at the farm anytime during the summer: “I love how lively and cheerful it is on the property. It is always awesome to be able to see people enjoying our many amenities that we offer here at our Sutton’s Bay location.” - Grace

It’s time for another Meet the Team Monday! We are thrilled to introduce you to our Events extraordinaire Dorothy!
Dorothy is our Director of Event & Culinary Operations and has been with Black Star Farms since June 2016. In just the 5 years she has been with us, Dorothy has coordinated 105 weddings at BSF, yes you read that right, 105 weddings! Before joining the BSF team, Dorothy coordinated countless weddings and corporate events for 8 years at The Biltmore Estate. In other words, she is the queen of events 👑
As you can imagine, the last year has presented a number of challenges for anyone that works in events, but Dorothy said it may just be her favorite memory at BSF. Watching the events and culinary team come together during the ongoing pandemic to create and execute events safely, while still maintaining the unique Black Star splendor, is something she will never forget!
Just like Bryce, Dorothy loves our Blanc de Blanc, but another wine you can often find in her glass is our Arcturos Pinot Gris. No surprises there, considering the amazing versatility Pinot Gris has, just like Dorothy!
If you’re planning your next event or future wedding, consider Black Star Farms as your venue of choice. There’s a reason why Dorothy was awarded the 2019 Michigan Meetings + Events Magazine’s Hall of Fame Best Special Event Planner 😉
