Welcome to Walter and Ward Johnson Co., LLC

A Family Farm with Roots in Northern Michigan

Our family farm has been growing roots for generations. The story began in the 1850s, when Nicholas Johnson came to this area from Oslo, Norway — beginning a family legacy that has continued for generations.
