Congratulations to Black Star Farms in Michigan who received a Psychologically Healthy Workplace Award this spring. Black Star Farms is a unique winery. It is an agricultural destination with much to offer visitors including a winery and tasting room, creamery, inn and stables. The award was based on evaluation of employee involvement, work and life balance, employee health, safety and recognition. Black Star Farms is one workplace that came out on top. This award granted to Black Star Farms does not surprise me in the least. All employees we met during our visit to the winery and stay at the Black Star Inn were friendly and more than willing to help us – even when our fireplace in our room needed assistance an employee came at 8:30 pm to take care of it. He was determined it would work and he spent half an hour lighting it for us. The breakfast at Black Star Farms Inn is a treat prepared by a gourmet chef. We met Donald Coe, partner and owner of Black Star Farms in January 2008. Donald has a passion for Black Star Farms as an agricultural destination and we discovered he has a warm, working relationship with his employees.
