Pelkie
Pelkie is a Finnish-American farm community in western Houghton County along the Sturgeon River near the Baraga County line, set in the fertile bottomland of the southern Keweenaw with a base of dairy and crop farms, forest-products, contractors, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Pelkie area's farms, forest-products, contractors, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Pelkie, Michigan?
Yes — remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being in western Houghton County is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Pelkie client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does being in a small, rural community make support harder?
Not at all — remote-first is exactly the point: a Pelkie business gets the same fast response and attention as one in a bigger town, without anyone needing to drive way out.
What would you build for a Pelkie farm, forest-products, or contractor business?
Usually a customer, recordkeeping, scheduling, or billing platform built around how your operation runs — so a Pelkie business works from one system instead of a paper calendar and disconnected apps.
Where does AI help a Pelkie business?
In intake, recordkeeping, scheduling, customer email, and follow-up — so a Pelkie business gets real leverage through the farm-and-forest seasons without adding headcount.
Do you work with dairy and crop farms near Pelkie?
Yes — we build recordkeeping, herd or field tracking, scheduling, and customer tools around how a farm actually runs, and the dairy-and-crop operations around Pelkie are exactly who we build for.
What's the cybersecurity baseline for a Pelkie business?
Managed EDR, MFA, immutable backups, phishing filtering, and a written recovery plan, plus secure payment handling if you take card payments. We set it up and manage it for you.
What does a custom platform cost a Pelkie business?
A single focused workflow runs from the high four figures into the mid five figures; we scope it to what your Pelkie operation actually needs and phase it so value lands early.
How long until it's running?
Usually eight to ten weeks to the first live workflow, then iterative improvements from there.
Who owns the code and data?
You do, outright — no lock-in. The platform and data belong to your Pelkie business.
Can you help a Pelkie business get found online?
Yes — local SEO and content tuned for the Pelkie area along the Sturgeon River and the surrounding western-Houghton Finnish-American farm country, so the customers searching nearby find you first.
