Have you considered how a Michigan charcuterie board can elevate your next gathering? These beautifully crafted spreads aren’t just trendy but delicious and versatile. Michigan charcuterie boards stand out because of the state’s unique local ingredients: creamy Michigan-made cheeses, locally cured meats, and fresh, seasonal fruits.

What means most to us here at Amayesing Graze is not just putting together amazing grazing tables and specialty foods but creating an experience. This year, we are beyond proud to announce that Amayesing Graze has been voted for its second year as the Platinum Winner in both categories: Top Specialty Food and Top Caterer in the Lansing Community Votes contest.
