Common Good Bakery
Back before the pandemic, in February 2020 we had the pleasure of working with Common Good Bakery in Traverse City on a short film. While much has changed in the world since it was filmed, the words Chef/Owner Jason shares resonate more now than ever. Common Good works to improve the overall wellbeing of their staff and the community through their employment practices and the products they serve. Take a moment to check out the video above! And, be sure to stop in Common Good Bakery next time you’re in Traverse City to try a chocolate croissant; we can almost guarantee the video will leave you craving some... // Produced by The Boardman Review

Leelanau Conservancy - Farmland Protection
A film featuring the Leelanau Conservancy's Farmland Protection program. The nonprofit has protected over 5,000 acres of farmland through a mechanism called purchase of development rights or a conservation easement. In a nutshell, farmers are paid the difference between what their land is worth as farmland versus what it is worth as residential land. Farmers retain all rights to their land and continue to farm it, but the land is restricted from development. Each agreement—the legal term is conservation easement— is different and is tailored to the needs and desires of each landowner.
