Shady Lane Farms, Inc. is located in the center of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. More specifically, in Wells Township, Marquette County. This farm began in the early 1900's and was developed through three generations.
The farm consists of approximately 860 acres. The property includes approximately 180 acres of tillable land and approximately 680 acres of rangeland and woodland.
Through the years, the farm supported 40 dairy cows, 200 head of beef cattle and 40 acres of seed potatoes. The location is very secluded which makes it ideal for research and seed crops. The farm has the potential for other livestock: sheep, horses, buffalo, or wildlife.
