About Fairgrove

Fairgrove is a quiet village of about 500 residents in the heart of Michigan’s Thumb. Surrounded by wide-open farmland in Tuscola County, the town first took shape in the late 1800s as a railroad stop and trading hub for local growers. Today, it offers a peaceful, rural setting with a relaxed pace of life and deep agricultural roots.

The village is best known for hosting the Michigan Bean Festival every Labor Day weekend, a long-running tradition that brings the community together with parades, fair food, and family events celebrating the area’s harvest. Daily life is calm and close-knit, with neighboring towns like Caro and Bay City providing convenient access to bigger stores, restaurants, and medical services just a short drive away.
