Time to Plan for 2018 CSA

Dear CSA Members: We are about to order seed stock for this year and part of our planning process is to get your input on this year’s orders.  We have been looking at systems that do planning and have decided to start a small-scale program on our side to fulfill our CSA members desired produce. Anyone interested in being part of our CSA family, please go to our website and sign up on our CSA sign up page at www.yooperproduce.com. This will send me an email and I will give you a call to go over

Our 2018 CSA Registration is closed.  We have a very large CSA family this year and I have ordered reusable bags for all members as great big THANK YOU for all your support.  We have 22 families this year which is double from last year.  I am sure there will be plenty for all. All the same, we will be applying for another high tunnel with this great of a demand so we can continue to grow and serve the need of our neighbors.  Here is to a new season.  I hope we get plenty of berries and fruit

We are now taking pledges for 2018 Community Supported Agriculture shares for Yooper Produce. Our CSA is slightly different from others. Please visit our CSA Sign Up Page http://www.yooperproduce.com/csa-sign-up for more details and to register. We will contact each share request that registers to make sure our CSA is a good match for you and your family. We welcome any questions.

Wrapping up 2017 CSA and farm, with the rain I am already starting to plan for 2018.  Before doing that, I want to thank all the wonderful people that came out to the farm this year and participated in our CSA.

Check out our new take on a community supported agriculture program.

ROMA TOMATOES ARE READY! This year's Roma tomatoes are exceptional.  Seven tomatoes to the pound. I took this picture right now.  These are the biggest Roma tomatoes I have ever grown.  First pick gave 30# and that is only the beginning.  I need to find homes for all these.  If you are interested I am taking orders for 10 lb bags for $8.00.  Please email me at yooperproduce@gmail.com or call (906) 280-5434.  If I don't answer please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Snow is receding and we see a glimmer of hope that Spring is on the way.

To Bee or not to Bee, is the big question.  As a gardener, I have noticed years when I had great blossoms and very little pollinators.  Would bee keeping make a difference.

It's that time to plan and find enough room to plant everything I want to try.   Where to start?
