Fife Lake
Fife Lake is a village on its namesake lake in southwestern Kalkaska County in northern Michigan's forest-and-lake country, a small resort community with a beach, a Main Street, surrounding woods, and a base of shops, recreation, lodging, and service businesses. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Fife Lake area's shops, recreation, lodging, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
