Farm Happenings for the week of May 17, 2020

Posted on May 17th, 2020 by Mark Kastner
We will be working indoors Monday and Tuesday because of all the rain. That means all of our indoor transplanting will be complete, except for Ginger and Turmeric!
 
In addition to Lauren and Riley back from college, we have  two Springport High School seniors graduating this year and I have added two incoming juniors to the crew. Thursday and Friday will be all hands available to complete the outdoor schedule before Memorial Day.
 
Friday morning I have a training session schedule with my coach from Harvie, my online inventory management partner. First on my mind is integrating the CSA Members who have existing credit balances. I took a lot of time to import that information into the Harvie spreadsheet. If any of you have questions or concerns, please let me know soon. This week I will incorporate all four  delivery venues into one new delivery for next week. The cutoff for orders is Tuesday at 3:00 pm.
 
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot on Wednesday at 12:00 noon, and the Allen Street Farmers Market on Michigan Avenue after that. Thursday afternoon is farm pick up, 1:00-5:00, and Saturday I am at the parking lot behind Flour Child Bakery 11:00-12:00 noon. Please see the attached menu for what we offer this week and let me know if I can help.. Note the Harvie menu will be slightly expanded. vs. the market menu.
 
Thank you,
