"Produce and Produce Stand"
You read that right! We are very excited about being able to offer our customers produce. This has been inspired by the many requests we've received by a good majority of our customers. By the middle to the end of February we are hoping to have our first crop of cool season vegetables. I have long awaited this time. With the help of John Borden, our new produce farmer, and two other friends/farmers, Preston Boenker and Mike Bodensteiner, this is quickly falling into place. Most of the production will be on Preston's land in Old Washington because he has a large prairie of river bottom loam- the most optimum soil fertility around. Some of the specialty crops ranging from lettuces, heirlooms, and smaller scale vegetables will be on our farm. We are also hoping to have a produce stand that will be open during the week for drive-up customers along with offering this produce to all of our delivery groups. More information is coming soon so stay tuned to see how you can obtain locally grown produce along with your meats and eggs.
“On-Farm Market”
We are hoping the have an “On-Farm Market” twice a month where customers can come and purchase their meat, eggs, dairy, produce, and get other wonderful products that are provided by other local artisans around us. Farm tours will be given and we hope to have many things for your entire family to do making this a family day full of fun while connecting families with their food and the producers that produce them. Mark your calendars for February 26th!
Our goal is to produce and provide the cleanest food we possibly can at an affordable price for as many families as we possibly can, while being completely transparent about our operation. Supporting your local farmer goes much farther than just obtaining food. It is a symbiotic relationship that impacts both the producer and consumer."
