Farm Happenings for December 14, 2022

Posted on December 11th, 2022 by Mark Kastner
Today we'll see 9:06 hours of daylight, with the shortest day of light 10 days away. We grow varieties of green crops in the winter that can produce less than the generally accepted norm of  10 hours, but not nine! We will harvest from existing inventory until mid January, when photosynthesis can resume.
 
This is the last week for my inventory manager "Harvie" and CSA this year. Next week we are going to Dallas to see our twin grandkids who will turn 4 years old in February. The week after Christmas and the week after New Years, we will do home delivery for orders directly from the menu at large, and as our gift to you, the delivery charge is waived! Sunday, January 8, will begin normal CSA orders and the familiar weekly schedule. I will keep you posted throughout.
 
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday at 12:00 noon, and the indoor Allen Street Farmers Market after that, 3:00-6:00. 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.Please see the attached menu and let me know if I can help!
