Picking Beans!


It's that time of year....finally!! The beans are ripe and ready for the eatin'!! Come to the Market - Pentwater or Ludington - to get your share. Get 'em by the pound or the half-bushel. Steam 'em up just right....mmmm, good!

 Pictured are a couple of our many volunteers who are picking their fair-share of beans. We all get a turn at picking beans, cause there's lots of beans to pick. We have several successions this year of green beans. Plus, this year we will have yellow snap beans and (even) purple beans to eat!


See you at the Market's. Pentwater on Thursday from 10 - 2 and Ludington on Friday from 3 - 8. Remember, this Friday in Ludington is the first of several "Friday Night Live" events.

FIELD TOMATOES

The field tomatoes are looking strong and growing every day. We have over 20 varieties this year and over 300 plants have been set out. So far, over 99% are viable and getting bigger each day. We are looking forward to providing you with some of the tastiest and juiciest tomatoes you've ever sunk your teeth into. Many are HEIRLOOM tomatoes (the best tasting!) and most are the open pollinated types.

PEACEVINE is the name-sake tomato of Peacefield Farm, of course. It is a open pollinated cherry tomato with an exquisite taste experience. Nothing can compare. First named by Alan Kapuler and developed by Peace Seeds, our seed source is FEDCO SEEDS of Waterville, Maine. The seed was grown using certified biodynamic methods. 

They'll be ready for picking and selling in 3 - 4 weeks. Be patient! Good things come to those who wait. 

Come to the markets on Monday, Thursday or Friday's to bring your taste buds alive.
