Farm Happenings for November 10, 2021

Posted on November 7th, 2021 by Mark Kastner

Good Morning!

 
We just arbitrarily choose Sunday with the Daylight Savings Day (today!) change to begin our winter daily food production schedule. We prepare our Spring Seed Order now, we set up an auxiliary  light with a 12 hour timer in the incubator, schedule harvest for afternoons instead of morning, etc. This also affects the customer because we,ll shorten the order periods to accommodate the uncertainty of harvest timing to fill those orders.
 
The move back to Daylight Saving Time is March 13, 2022 but that is too early to start morning harvest! We normally wait until Tax Day, April 15, to return to the warmer weather production practices.
 
CHANGE: Allen Street Farmers Market moves indoors on the corner of Kalamazoo at Shepard St, and we'll be there on Wednesday, 3:00-6:00! I will still be outside at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday at 12:00 noon, Thursday afternoon is farm pick up, and Saturday I am at the parking lot behind Flour Child Bakery in Grand Ledge, 11:00-12:00 noon for CSA deliveries and custom order pick up.
 
Please see the attached menu for what we offer this week and let me know if I can help. I hope to see you soon!
