Farm Happenings for May 6, 2023

Posted on May 4th, 2023 by Mark Kastner
Steadily, we are replacing the tired Winter stock with warm weather summer fruiting vegetables and leafy Greens,  I am a little behind on transplanting due mainly to the coming overnight low temperatures. I am a little bit stressed, however, because I am giving a farm tour to the Springport High School Biology Teacher, and my friend Megan, has a teaching greenhouse of her own!
 
I am taking Tuesday off to go salmon fishing below Tippy Dam and/ or trout fishing up in Manistee National Forest.  I will end CSA menu customization on Monday at 3:00 PM so I can get up there Monday night. I will be back Tuesday night, so please bear with me!
 
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday at 12:00 noon, and the Allen Street Indoor Farmers Market after that, 3:00-6:00. Next week the Allen Street Market moves outdoors! Thursday afternoon is farm pick up and scheduled home deliveries. Saturday, I am at the parking lot behind Flour Child Bakery in Grand Ledge, 11:00-12:00 noon. The Grand Ledge outdoor Farmers Market on River Street, opens on May 30! I hope to see you soon!
