A well-deserved moment for someone who gives so much to every plate. ✨🏆

Last night at the Traverse City Tourism Annual High Five Awards, our very own Leah was honored with the Tastemaker Award — and we couldn’t be more proud.
Leah brings creativity, precision, and heart into everything she does. Her ability to turn seasonal ingredients into something thoughtful and memorable is what makes the experience at Black Star Farms so special.

This recognition is a reflection of her passion, her talent, and the care she puts into every dish. If you’ve had the pleasure of enjoying her cooking, you know exactly what we mean.

Congratulations, Leah — we’re lucky to have you. 👏🍽️✨
