Friday Update!

There’s still plenty of time to stock up on the lamb, pork, beef & chicken that’s still available for preorders below! Busy Bee Farm has some new items, and there will also be honey & maple syrup for sale.  All the vendors attending tomorrow will also have stock available for walk up sales.

As I’m complaining to my 11 year old granddaughter about the bad weather last weekend, she (no eyes rolling) mentioned that she and her girl scout troop were out in it for 3 hours selling Girl Scout Cookies. Kudos to them (and congrats on the 280 boxes of cookies sold!) And also hopeful for no more of that kind of weather. This weekend seems to be a little less crazy but if we do get a blizzard, read the notice below!

In Case of Severe Weather: Cancellation Notice
If we need to cancel a market due to severe weather I will send out a separate email no later than Friday evening before a market notifying you that we will be closed.

Mannor Farm of Hesperia
We are offering Prepaid CSA Member Cards.  The Card can be purchased for any dollar amount of $50 or more.
The card can be used at any of the farmers markets that we attend or at our farm stand during normal business hours.  We currently plan to attend the Sweetwater Farmers Market (starting in May 2023), Newaygo Farmers Market, and New Era Farmers Market.  We will be announcing our farm stand hours in May. We will be offering Certified Naturally Grown produce, eggs, and poultry as well as rabbit.
Now through March 2023, we will add 10% of the paid amount to the Card (i.e. $50 gets $55 loaded on the card).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR How to Pre-Order
1. Look over the list. Each vendor has a unique deadline for when they need to receive your pre-order depending on their product. Send your pre-order by email to each vendor you want to order from, within their required deadlines.
2. Vendors will respond back by no later than Friday before market day with an order confirmation and an invoice that in most cases will allow you to pre-pay for your order. If a vendor is not set up to take payment online they will accept checks (preferred) or cash in a sealed envelope on market day pickup.
STAY IN TOUCH!
If you have not already done so you may want to sign up for the newsletter
to be informed of the pre-order schedule for the next market.
