The background on this page is the mix of fuel used to
    heat our greenhouse.  We have a multi-fuel furnace that
    burns a mix of pellets, local corn, and Michigan cherry
    pits.  Isn't it beautiful?

    We raise two batches of roasting chickens each
    summer.  Rather than the traditional cornish-cross meat
    chickens that are raised across the country in factory
    farms, we've opted for a couple of strains that were
    developed in France for pastured poultry.  Our meat
    chickens are colorful, hardy, and great foragers.  As a
    result of their genetics and raising them on pasture,
    they have a wonderful real-chicken taste, unlike the
    bland, tasteless chicken at your local grocery store.

    This year we hope to raise some pigs out in the
    woods.  I'm looking forward to seeing them enjoy
    natural "pig habitat" and clean out some brush at the
    same time.  If you're interested, reserve a whole or half
    before May 24!  Our butcher will cut and smoke your
    purchase to your specifications.

    Future products will include hazelnuts, arctic kiwis, and
    paw paws.  These are all in early stages of cultivation,
    and will not be available for several years, but we are
    awaiting them with anticipation.  Please check back for
    updates!
