Farm Happenings for August 28, 2024

Posted on August 25th, 2024 by Mark Kastner
We will be open and operating Labor Day weekend, although we will have restricted hours of operation. We will also be attending the weekend Farmers Markets, as I prepare the coming Fall/ Winter growing and distribution plans that will dovetail with the colder seasons.
 
The Summer Farmers Markets have been very kind to Hillcrest Farms, even to a fault. I was out Saturday evening trying to replace the Fresh Produce planned for Sunday in East Lansing, but already sold in Grand Ledge! Suddenly a strange odor wafted by me; wait, MELONS! Yes we'll have them this week at all markets. I took 3 inside for a taste test. Wow, Yum Yum, and the racoons didn't even alert me!
 
Housekeeping note: please return the waxed CSA weekly boxes, if you can.
We are allowed to reuse them as opposed  to the landfill. Happy Labor Day in advance, I hope to see you soon!
