Can you do us a favor?

Winter is coming, but local food isn’t going anywhere.

This fall’s harvest was fantastic, and our greenhouses are full.

That means you can keep filling your table with fresh, local food all winter long.

Here’s how you can help:

Shop local this winter. Stop by the Crisp Farm Store or find us at the Kalamazoo and Muskegon Farmers Markets. Every bag of carrots, basket of potatoes, every bunch of greens keeps our farm going through the slow season.

Tell a friend. Forward this email. Bring a neighbor along. Share a post. Most people don’t know how much good food is still available in the winter. You can be the one who tells them.

That’s it. Just a little word of mouth from people we’re lucky to have in our corner.

Come say hi, grab something fresh, and bring a friend. Come out enjoy the winter markets!

We used to do this by hand. Watch what we do now.

Carrots are coming out of the ground, and you’ve got to see how.

Check out the harvester in action here.

That’s a whole crib of carrots, topped in about 5 minutes.

It wasn’t always like this.

For years, we harvested carrots by hand. It was often wet and cold. We crawled along the ground in rain pants (the ones with a hole in them, of course) We would spend weeks harvesting carrots in the fall.

Now? Five minutes.

Every year at harvest, we stop and look back. We think about where we started and how far we’ve come.

And every year, we’re struck by how thankful we are for the tools that make this work easier. Tools that make it possible for us to do big things!

So, come out to the markets all winter and enjoy fresh carrots! Harvested with love and our amazing harvester. 🙂

A note about our lettuce

We’ve gotten a lot of messages this week about the outbreak going around Michigan — and we love that you trust us enough to ask.

Here’s how we do things at Crisp Country Acres:

Drip tape irrigation — water goes straight to the roots of the lettuce plants.

Well water only, for growing AND washing — the same water we drink at home.

Every step, from planting to delivery, done by us and our team. Nothing outsourced.

We go through an FSMA Produce Safety Inspection — a check on our water, soil, and harvest practices

Our families eat off the same fields yours does.

Thank you so much for your continued support and for trusting us to grow your food.

Here is where you can find us:

Crisp Farm Store (5888 120th Ave, Holland): Monday – Friday, 8am – 6pm & Saturday, 8am – 5pm.

Muskegon Farmers Market: Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday, 8am – 2pm.

Trufant Market: 7am – 12pm.
