"The Farm Box"-Coopers CSA Farm Farm Happenings Week 14

Posted on August 31st, 2023 by Coopers CSA Farm

MICRO GREENS CROP FAILURE - Friday was a tough day for our farming friends Jim and Elayne. A mechanical failure led to complete crop loss. However like all farmers they quickly fixed the problem, replanted, and they should have their amazing micros greens for us in 2 weeks. We saw Jim Friday night - they pick up some strawberries and corn from us for their side gig "Lollie's Kart" a moving farm roadside stand- He was exhausted to say the least, but if you've ever met Jim Hulshof, you'll be glad to hear he was still his super positive self.
