Friday Update!
On Friday we publish updates to the Monday news and also who still has preorder products available. Pine Row Farm, Liberty Family Farm, The Pasturage & Scholl Farm all have a great variety of locally & humanely raised, antibiotic free, GMO free, pork, beef chicken & lamb, and will accept preorders until 6pm Friday. Particularly with meat it’s so important to try to get preorders in. Most of the above farms will have a limited amount of meats and other products to choose from for walk up sales on market day, so for best selection – PREORDER! Thanks!

In Case of Severe Weather: Cancellation Notice
If we need to cancel a market due to severe weather (like the Christmas blizzard) I will send out a separate email no later than Friday evening before a market notifying you that we will be closed. I will post the same message to our FB & Instagram pages as well as the website. If you know people who are regulars to the market and not in the habit of checking emails please let them know. Thanks!

Blackbird Farm of Coopersville
Shares for the Blackbird Farms 2023 CSA program are now available! Sign up now for fresh vegetables June through October. Complete information, as well as sign-up forms, is available on our website at https://blackbirdfarms.net/community-supported-agriculture/. We hope to have you join us–there is a place at the table waiting for you!

The Mannor Farm of Hesperia
The new year is here.
At the farm, we are taking a little break and getting ready for the 2023 Farmers Market season.  It will be here before we know it.
In the past year, we made a few changes to our farm operations.  We stopped using plastic mulch; opting for machine cultivation and manual hoeing to control weeds.  We also added meat chickens, guinea fowl, and rabbits to our market offerings.  We started work on the barn (this project is still in progress).
Starting in May 2023, we will be offering eggs from our Certified Naturally Grown flock of hens.
We will also open a farm market stand at the farm starting in late spring or early summer.
We also started offering a CSA Farm Card membership program.
Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) membership is a unique program.  Members are issued a prepaid Farm (gift) Card loaded with the cash value of their membership (plus the bonus value). For an investment of $100 to $500, you will receive a Farm (gift) Card loaded with $110 to $600.   That is a discount of 10-20%.
The members can use the Farm Card to pay for their purchases from us at the farm or the Farmers Markets that we attend on a regular basis.
The members only buy what they want when they want it.  They will be notified what we will have each week so they may pre-order for pick-up at the farm stand or one of the Farmers Markets.  Or they may wait to purchase at the farm (during our scheduled hours) or at the farmers markets near them.
Again thank you for your business in 2022 and we look forward to seeing you at the Farmers Markets in 2023.
