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 one or 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.

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'll be raising pigs again. If you're interested, reserve a whole or half before June 15! 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!
