Red Haven Information

Parties over 6 guests? Please call. Our philosophy is simple: Local First. We developed Red Haven to showcase the best of what Michigan offers in our food, drinks and décor. We work directly with the farmers who grow the food and buy it when it is ripe and at its peak to be served. Food is only as good as the ingredients you start with. Our goal is to serve you innovative, creative and fresh cuisine. The Red Haven peach is a unique Michigan produce that was developed by MSU professor Dr. Stanley Johnson in 1940. It was the first red-skinned commercial peach and has come to be known as the peach that all others are judged against. It is the most popular peach planted in Michigan. The woodwork throughout the restaurant was reclaimed from an old barn in Charlotte, Michigan which artists at Against the Grain repurposed to create a rustic yet modern décor. Did you notice our unusual wooden light fixtures and wine storage boxes? They are well worn and used cherry lug boxes from the farms of friends and family along Old Mission Peninsula. Seasonal photographs are the work of Jena McShane (who also provided the food photography you see on this site) and Peter Mowry who visited farms of our local suppliers to surround you with the rustic beauty of the food we serve.
