For 13 years we have nurtured gardens to feed the spirits and bodies of local people. We have focused on learning to produce healty, lively foods within dynamic systems. Our hope is that you can taste the love in the food you eat from Meadowlark.

Through the support and encouragement of our shareholders we have built season extension structures that allow us to grow food into the winter, in early spring. Meadowlark offers the longest CSA season in Northern Michigan that provides washed salad mix every week. Standard shares receive 1/2 lb/week, premium shares receive 1lb/week. There is an extra salad share option for those who would like more. Many people tell us that the salad is their favorite part of each box each week!

Also included in a share are consistent guantities of "the staples": garlic, potatoes, onions, carrots and broccoli. We also provide some "less usual" foods along with recipes to keep expanding your family's culinary horizons. Recipes are included in the weekly newsletter.

We have always been and always will be organic farmers. We work in harmony with Nature, fully, deeply and with great reverence. We do not use any synthetic chemicals of any kind on the farm.  Our greatest tools are observation and intuition.  If you ever have any questions about our philosophies or practices, we encourage you to ask or better yet, come visit the farm and see for yourself.

We are committed to delivering the freshest, healthiest most vital vegetables you can imagine.  Quality is what we strive for.  We harvest at the peak of ripeness and your vegetables will be delivered to you within one day of harvest for peak vitamin nutrition.  Compare this to vegetables from the grocery store that have traveled thousands of miles.  We pick, wash and pack into plastic bags any veggies that we feel will suffer transpiration(i.e. wilting). We pack your share into a waxed produce box to keep it cool and dark and the greens fresh.  Your share will have your name on it, be perfectly suited for you and will look like no one elses. You will receive one box/week, but we allot 3 boxes/share and ask that you return a flattened, empty box to your drop off site each time you come to pickup your share.  This way we keep your vegetables flowing!
