Take the 10 x 10 pledge! Local First of West Michigan is challenging you to shift $10 more a week for 10 weeks to local food. In the past two years they have had over 1,200 people take the pledge. This year they are hoping to get at least 1,500 participants – which is over $150,000 that you’re investing back into your community & local food economy! Here is more information and where you can sign up to take the pledge!
Canning season is here and it is time to make your salsa and tomato sauces! We have everything you need including regular and roma tomatoes, onions, celery, a variety of hot peppers and sweet peppers. We are thinking ahead towards fall as the kids go back to school. We have a lot of harvesting will get done in the next 3 months to get our cold storage filled up for winter. We are making plans to fill the greenhouses up with a variety of greens to enjoy during the cold winter months. September is a great month because we are able to enjoy many summer favorites along with a variety of fall produce. Fall squash is starting and we are harvesting spaghetti squash and amber cup squash. Brussel Sprouts, cabbage and broccoli are available. Cauliflower will be coming soon! The information on the fall CSA is now available. We have a great program planned with a couple of different options to meet your families needs. Here is more information on the programs.
Thank you for your support so far this season. We could not do this with out the support of all of our fantastic customers!
