Riverside Farm - C Drive North, Marshall, Michigan.
Located on the "bend" of C Drive North and 13 1/2 mile road, Riverside Farm has stood as a beacon for more than a century. The farm has been owned by the Glotfelty's for 50 years. The land is still farmed to this day. True to its name, the farm runs along the Kalamazoo River. The large white pines on the farm were planted in the early 70's. It's a favorite part of the Kalamazoo River for many canoeists. This is a natural area that should be enjoyed by the community, not destroyed for industrial "development." It's a legacy worth protecting.

The importance of this fertile land is necessary for farming and to feed humans. Once this land is gone, it will never come back.
