Farm Happenings for July 29, 2020

Posted on July 26th, 2020 by Mark Kastner
The cooler nights should be here this coming week, and we will start our leafy greens for fall harvests. The extreme heat of late caused a germination failure in the Baby Lettuce rotation, so I moved the flats back to the basement for a consistent 60 degrees. The lettuce in the ground is fine and gets drip irrigated almost every day. Still, we will not be able to offer Baby Lettuce MIx for a couple more weeks!
 
The MIchigan Fruit crop is almost at its peak, and the summer fare of Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, is very tasty and appreciated. I picked two Cantaloupe Friday and they are amazing!I still have 6-8 weeks of seven work days per week, but I just love this work!
 
This week I am at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday at 12:00 noon, and the Allen Street Farmers Market on Michigan Avenue after that.Thursday Afternoon is farm pick up, and Saturday we are in Grand Ledge at JC Park From 9:00-1:00..
 
Please see the attached menu and let me know if I can help. Ihope to see you soon!
 
Thank you,
