Farm Happenings for May 27, 2020

Posted on May 24th, 2020 by Mark Kastner
Hello!
 
From crop freezing weather to Summer, oh my! During these trying times, we lost our early crop of Strawberries, but we are looking to pick Sun Gold cherry tomatoes in about 3 weeks, and tomorrow I will  pick and eat the first Cucumber. That's over 2 weeks ahead of last year, and 5-6 weeks ahead of  cucumbers grown outdoors, and still chemical free!
 
I had a very productive zoom meeting with my Harvie coach last Friday. Let's see if we can make through this week. I am grateful for the increases in demand for our produce. Scaling up has it's own challenges, and luckily our Springport kids have helped me and risen to the task.
 
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday, and the Allen Street Market at the new location on Michigan Ave after that. Thursday afternoon is at farm pick up, and Saturday we are in Grand ledge, 9:0001:00 for the Farmers Market and CSA pick up. Please see the attached menu and let me know if I can help. I hope to see you soon!
 
Thank you,
