Vander Farm's Sourdough Scones

Tastemaker

By Anna Faller | Aug. 2, 2025

Tucked among the endless acres of field and farmland in Leelanau County, Vander Farm might just be one of Traverse City’s best-kept secrets—but we’re not about to gatekeep the goods! This self-service farmstand and micro-bakery is a haven for all things sourdough, but it’s the scratch-made sourdough scones that’ll have you heading back for seconds (and thirds)! Featuring top-notch local ingredients, like Bulldog Berries and the farm’s own eggs, these flaky, tender bakes also pack an added dose of gut health thanks to their active sourdough base and multi-day fermentation process. Flavors rotate seasonally, which means each day is a delicious surprise, but a few recent favorites include lemon-blueberry, sweet peach, and warmly spiced cinnamon chip. Oh, and don’t miss the cinnamon rolls on the weekends! Stock up ($4-$5 per scone) at 5765 E Traverse Hwy just outside TC.
