Our guest for "Cooking with Community Leaders - Leland, MI Edition" is Larry Mawby. Larry was the founder and owner of Mawby Wines until 2020 when he retired from full-time wine making. While retired, Larry tackled the Affordable Housing issue in Leelanau County and started the Community Land Trust Non-Profit Peninsula Housing. We discuss Mawby Wines, Peninsula Housing, and the Leelanau Conservancy with Larry. Today we are tasting several Leelanau (Michigan) County foods (Peas & Peanuts, Carlson’s Fish Dip, Natural Northern Jalapeno Cherry Spread, and Cherry Republic Cherry Salsa.
