Oh, give me the spot that I once used to know by the side of the placid old River St. Joe!
 
 

ST. JOSEPH RIVER

Our namesake and the third longest river in the state of Michigan. The river follows a zigzag route generally westward across southern Michigan, dipping into northern Indiana. The path of least resistance is not always the most direct or simplest. Nothing wrong with that from our perspective!

 
 
I didn’t care whether I floated or not; just resting out there for an hour or so on the banks of the tranquil old River St. Joe.

FLATWATER FARMS

Is a certified organic farm that grows our hops along with a rotating selection of crops to continually regenerate and enrich the wonderful alluvial soil on which it relies. A kitchen and brewmasters garden, honey bees, a young orchard and soon a few animals make it a perfect home for River St. Joe and a perfect place to relax, connect to the land, and enjoy a farmhouse beer!

 
 
And I live once again in the old summer time; for my soul it seems caught in old time’s undertow and I’m floating away down the River St. Joe.
— Ben King, Jr., Excerpts from The River St. Joe, 1894
