Monday, June 12 at the DeYoung Farm

We'll be meeting Monday evening at 5:30 pm at the DeYoung Farm off Cherry Bend Road in Leelanau County. It stays light quite late so I'd imagine we'll be out until 9pm or so.

There is a farmhouse and outbuildings and large barn on the property as well as meadow views and lake views of Cedar Lake. Park on Strang Road just to the north of the farm and walk in from there, or park on Cherry Bend Road and walk in. We have permission from the Leelanau Conservancy to paint anywhere except for in quite close to the farmhouse and outbuildings--this area is indicated by mown grass--due to ongoing construction.

Directions from Traverse City: Follow M22 north to the stoplight at Cherry Bend Road. Turn left on Cherry Bend. Travel past the Cherry Bend store, past Lincoln Road, past Orchard Creek Assisted Living and around the bend, and past the Leelanau Farm Market. Just past the farm market you'll see the yellow farmhouse of the DeYoung Farm, and a big red barn on the right side of the street. Strang Road is just past the farmhouse.

Directions from Suttons Bay: Take Center Highway/ CR 633 south until it ends. Turn left on Fouch Road. Follow for a short bit until you see Strang Road on your right.
