Fresh Produce for this week of May3, 2020

Posted on May 1st, 2020 by Mark Kastner

Good Morning!

Our Summer CSA and Season online farm stand kicks off this weekend! While demand  will increase significantly, and I am reasonably prepared, I see several morning below freezing next weekend. What to do?!
 
We uncovered the overwintered organic Strawberries last week and the bees are really buzzing. The Asparagus should be poking through any day, and the Sun Gold Tomatoes are beginning to blossom. It just must be Spring!
 
Our High school seniors have about 2 weeks to go and our college employees are finished and ready to go Lauren and Riley are already asking for more hours, and that's a good problem to have at Hillcrest Farms.
 
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot on Wednesday at 12:00 noon, and the last Allen Street "wiinter" market after that, 3:00-6:00. Thursday afternoon is farm pick up, and Saturday I am in the parking lot behind Flour Child Bakery, 11:15-12:00 noon. The Grand Ledge Farmers Market has been suspended indefinitely, and I will honor pre orders at this location for the foreseeable future. I encourage non CSA Members to use my online Farm Stand to place your orders. thank you!
