Farm Happenings for July 10, 2024

Posted on June 30th, 2024 by Mark Kastner

Hello!

We finally have the upper hand on the cabbage worms that have been trying to invade our Cabbage family crops, no small feat for the Organic Practitioner! Our lead work-partner, Eva, has been treating them weekly with a family of microscopic microbes that feed on the newly hatched worms that voraciously attack our crops. Left alone the young feeding larva can destroy a crop of broccoli, or brussels sprouts in a matter of weeks!
 
Yes, we are working this holiday week! Except for a brief pause on July 4, we will be farming and harvesting to order for you! I am at the Family Fare parking lot in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday at 12:00 noon and the Allen Street Farmers Market after that, 3:00-6:00. Thursday afternoon is farm pick up, and Saturday we are at the Grand Ledge Farmers Market on River Street, 9:00-1:00. Pre-scheduled deliveries will happen on Saturday early afternoon. I hope to see you soon! NOTE: CSA  Members that may have order or delivery issues with Harvie, I may have botched the auto renew feature to our CSA. Contact me directly if you have a problem. Thank you all!
