New year: fresh start! Shopping locally for produce, meats, and dairy leads to healthier eating that is high-quality and in tune with the seasons.

We’ve got fresh blueberry juice and mushroom shots to improve vitality plus a wide selection of produce grown naturally and harvested fresh from our small family farm. Our grass-fed animals are raised humanely in pasture without any harmful additives. We like to say you'll taste the difference! 🍗🌱 Stop by our shop in Chesterton to try for yourself. We're about 2 minutes from I-80 and 8 minutes from I-94.

Produce

This week’s fresh harvest includes more from our hoop gardens and our partner gardens, yes, even with the chill in the air: 

• Blueberries (frozen)

• Cabbage—nice and large!

• Carrots—sweet, crisp, and scrumptious! Straight from our nutrient dense soil!

• Garlic

• Herbs—Many dried options, fresh are re-growing in our hoops! 

• Lettuce & Mixed Greens—heads and mixed in limited supply! Our greens grow directly in the soil this time of year to attain the maximum micronutrient benefits. However, growth slows without as much light and heat. So, a new growth is occurring now. Pre-ordering helps! 

• Onions

• Potatoes—Fingerlings, Kennebecs, Purple, and Red Nolans . . . amazing flavor! 

• Pumpkins and other Winter Squash (and gourde) varieties including winter luxury pumpkins, autumn frost, honey boat delicata, full-size butternut, green and cream—Thelma Sanders—acorn, Musqee de Provance (Fairytale Pumpkins), spaghetti squash and many more! Enjoy the season of squash and get your potassium punch of the day!

• Sweet Potatoes

• Turnips—Purple Top White Globe with magenta (fresh harvested with the tops for maximum nutrients in your soups and stews) . . . this is the time of year to ensure you use them!

  As always, our produce is GMO-free and grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides — and we make sure it stays that way, even for crops that are tricky to grow naturally!

• Grass-fed, organic, non-homogenized, low heat pasteurized cow's milk, butter, buttermilk, cheese (cottage, GGC sharp cheddar, semi-soft, washed rind cheese, Alpine style premium reserves and a variety of others), French Dip, Kefir (plain), sour cream, and yogurt!
