IT'S JUNE!!

Hello All-

It is finally here-our first month that we will be harvesting. YEAH!!
Things are looking great-should have our 1st baskets ready with in two weeks.
We are pretty much on schedule like we said-mid June.
If anyone has any recipes for our up coming veggies, please feel free to post on the blog here.

Since Radishes are going to be the first product we have in the basket, I have an awesome recipe from our neighbor and friend, Rick Kurtz.
Very simple and easy.
Put a dab of butter in a frying pan.
clean radishes and cut tips of both ends off and discard.
Slice the radish up and add to pan.
Let cook until soft-can put cover on while cooking which will cook faster if you prefer.
These have a totally different taste then eating them raw-a nice change.

May




May has already been exciting!!
We have some plants in the ground but need to wait on most until safe from frost.
Check out our website for more pics. Compare the older pictures with the new ones and you'll see how the plants are just growing like crazy.
Also in our website you'll see where we will be for market and our pick up spots for our shareholders.
I couldn't resist taking the picture of the rainbow-it's not the best rainbow picture but I like it. The other picture is of course, Chad & Bud planting peas. Don't let this fool you in thinking they are the only ones doing the work. We all have put in our full share of long hours already. I can prove it by all the bug bites I have-the nats have been horrendous.
Look forward in seeing you all in June!
Bye for now-
Karen :>

April

Hello Everyone------It is finally April, although it doesn't feel like it and the weather forcast is saying several inches of snow for springbreak-Yeck!
But that doesn't stop us in getting the plants started. We should have the pictures up soon to show us hard at work in the greenhouse. We have over 9000 plants started and some are already sprouting. Looking good! Of Course can't plant in the ground until the end of May but we are on our way to a good season.

Chow for now-----Karen :>

First week of March

This week has been a crazy week-warm one day and snow the next-but we have to keep reminding ourselves that we do live in Michigan. Even though our temps were in the teens, we were able to start with the greenhouse. A lot of excitement in the air. Our seeds should be here next week so we are a few steps ahead of schedule. I will keep updating as we go along with our progress. Please feel free to give us your thoughts, ideas, recipes, etc....
This is our blog for our share holders to communicate with each other and us. Oh, by the way this month is 4 of our farmers birthday so if you see,-Bud, Chad, Ava or Andrea-make sure you wish them a Happy Birthday! :-)
bye for now-Karen
