Farm Management Consultant

6th Generation Farmers for hire…

The Wunsch family, alongside the experienced team at Third Coast Fruit, brings generations of hands-on knowledge to new and emerging growers across Old Mission Peninsula. As crop and soil consultants for hire, we offer practical, region-specific guidance rooted in the unique climate, soil composition and growing conditions of Northern Michigan. From orchard planning to varietal selection and long-term land stewardship, we work side-by-side with farmers to build sustainable, productive operations and share insights that can only come from years of working the same land.

Our consulting goes beyond theory, focusing on smart, cost-effective strategies that help farmers operate efficiently from the start. This includes guidance on pre-purchasing chemicals and inputs at the right time to secure the best pricing, ultimately reducing overhead without sacrificing quality. In addition, they provide full-scale support for land transitions, including tree removal, orchard cleanup and ground preparation.

With the right equipment and a skilled crew, we help transform and ready land for new plantings—ensuring each grower has a strong, well-prepared foundation to build on.
