In 1999, Scot and Jennifer Wack made Northport, Michigan their home, where they have raised three wonderful children in Jennifer's great grandmother's house. Jennifer's deep family ties to the area proved advantageous. While Scot hails from outside Washington, D.C., and Jennifer's parents relocated frequently due to her father's job, they both cherished summers spent on the shores of Leelanau County, collecting rocks. With Scot's background in carpentry and Jennifer's in nursing, neither holds a formal degree in geology or earth sciences-simply put, they're two regular folks who adore rocks! Learning about the origins of each stone captivated them, fueling their passion for exploring the Lake Michigan shoreline in search of deeper insights into local rocks. Their mission? To inspire everyone to discover the shoreline, enjoy some exercise, and perhaps uncover a few fascinating rocks to bring home.

""I love Northport Trading Post! And the staff is so friendly. They have a ton of items that can help you rock hunt, including scoops and buckets. They also have a great selection of already polished rocks and are happy to show you different polishing techniques. Every time I go in here they are so friendly, and I leave with a ton of information!"" -Liz K. ""Jen and Scot (the owners of Northport Trading Post) were my favorite people I met during my time in Michigan. From the moment I walked in, they gave me tips for rockhounding in the area. I came back the next day and Jen helped me identify the rocks I had found and even polished one for me! I took their rock polishing class and I cannot recommend it enough. I will remember that experience for the rest of my life. Everyone, go visit!!"" -Tori S. ""Definitely recommend stopping by Northport Trading Post and seeing all the wonderful pieces they have created! I also highly recommend taking one of their classes-very educational and so much fun!! The owners are so helpful and friendly!! Will definitely be a place I stop at often!"" -Cierra R.
