Puhtzin takes his job on the farm seriously. He’s a golden retriever through and through -happiest when he has a routine and a sense of purpose.

An easy-on, easy-off stop between Chicago, Saugatuck, and Holland — shared by Unbuttoned Farms, a community-based family farm exploring and celebrating other local growers.

It all begins with an idea.
