Try our variety of freshly harvested, nutritious and delicious fruits and veggies grown with care on our small family farm in Dexter, Michigan. We are not certified organic at this time but everything is authentically grown and visits to the farm to see our operation can be scheduled. We've been authentically growing vegetables and fruits and tapping our maple trees on our farm for ourselves since 1980 but only recently began selling at farmers markets in 2005 due to Shannon's passion for slow food and demonstrating sustainable agriculture. Among other things Shannon also currently helps/attends Slow Food Huron Valley events, is a steering committee member of the new HomeGrown Festival (to take place September 13, 2008 in Ann Arbor), and is a member of the City of Ann Arbor's Public Market Commission as a farmer representative.

(The Ann Arbor Farmers Market is open year-round on Saturdays and this is our main outlet!) Our stall moves around, so look for our sign (above), but lately we are in the central "sand-lot" area. Currently offering arguably the area's best arugula, and salad mix, mustard, kale, and carrots. Much more in August!
