Tofte

Tofte is a small North Shore community in Cook County on Lake Superior, a Norwegian-founded fishing village turned tourism town that serves as a gateway to the Boundary Waters via the Sawbill Trail and a trailhead on the Superior Hiking Trail. Its economy runs on North Shore tourism — lodging, dining, outfitters, and the retail and service businesses that serve visitors heading to the lake, the wilderness, and the trails. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Tofte area's lodging, dining, outfitting, retail, 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.
