For 9 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 and a
21 week summer season. 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.
Organic
We have always been and always will be organic farmers. However, we choose not to participate in government certification, and therefore it is illegal to call our produce "certified organic" as those words are now owned by the U.S. govt. We work in harmony with Nature, fully, deeply and with great reverence. 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.
