Farm Happenings for October 21, 2020

Posted on October 18th, 2020 by Mark Kastner
It's hard to believe,  but the Summer Markets are over, and  the  Summer CSA  deliveries are moving to the Winter - Spring deliveries in less than 2 weeks! Just  a reminder, Auto Renew will activate Monday, October 26,and 25% will be charged on  Thursday, 10/ 29. Please let Harvie know if you have any changes.
 
I planted a lot of extra Romaine this year and my stock is over 1/3 depleted. With daylight below 11 hours, Icannot come close to closing the gap before January.  It's too slow. My wife went price shopping for me in order to pinpoint the dramatic increase in demand. The very largest produce  vendor on the west side towards Grand Ledge is charging more than Hillcrest Farms and the romaine product is dreadful. Also, no one has Boston Lettuce. Can anyone help me understand what is going on!?
 
I am at the Family Fare parking lot on Wednesday at 12:00 noon and the Allen Street Farmers Market after that. Thursday afternoon is farm pick up, and Saturday I will be at the parking lot behind Flour Child Bakery in Grand Ledge from 11:00-12:00 noon. Please review the attached menu and let me know if  I can help!
 
Thank you,
