Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) season starts next month and we still have many shares available in both half or whole share sizes! Grown on the Blandford Farm with sustainable agricultural practices, indulge in 21 weeks of fresh, naturally-grown seasonal veggies from June 4 to Oct. 22!

 

The Blandford Farm is a short walk west of the Visitor Center where we raise healthy farm animals and grow local, sustainable produce. With 2.5 acres of land, our farm has been growing over 200 different varieties of vegetables and educating families on local agriculture through farm-related programming since 2010.

 

Our food is grown in the greenhouse thanks to a donation by the Prein family.

 

Although we are not organic, we are Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) and apart of Slow Food of West Michigan (SFWM).

 

CSA is a relationship between community members who prefer locally-grown food and the farmers that grow it. CSA members support and invest in the farm by purchasing a “share” of the harvest that they can pick up weekly.

 

BNC Members receive discounted and early registration!
