Northern Michigan recipes: Echo Bend PBJ Granola You’d be missing something, really, if you made Charla Kramer’s granola recipe without visiting her Echo Bend farm overlooking Upper Herring Lake south of Frankfort in Benzie County. On their prolific acres Charla and her husband Tom Kramer (yep, the morning voice you’ve heard on Interlochen Public Radio), produce a sustainable mélange of veggies, poultry, pork, cut flowers, eggs, honey, jam and maple syrup too. And somehow Charla finds time to bake bread and make granola. The Kramers sell their cornucopia through CSA subscriptions and a roadside stand. Pick up Echo Bend honey and dried strawberries and entice the kids out of bed with this PBJ granola on a morning when the first frost is settling into Northern Michigan’s hills.
