New CSA Workplace Site in the Works
This past December at St. Luke’s Hospital, Corinna had the opportunity to speak to a collection of wellness coordinators for various companies around Toledo about CSAs — specifically how a “workplace CSA” might work for their company. A workplace CSA is CSA that markets a particular business/workplace and its employees, and offers a pick-up site [...]
Corned Beef Dip
We had this appetizer dip at my mother-in-law’s house for the Christmas family celebration. I innocently dipped my cracker into this, and was hit with a burst of flavor that made my mouth instantly crave more. “What IS this?” I asked. “It’s amazing!” I know I’m going to catch some flak for the unhealthy ingredients, [...]
Changes for Next Year
We encourage you to get your registration in for next season if you have not already done so. We anticipate meeting our 100 full-share goal earlier than usual due to the addition of another workplace CSA. This coming year, we have a few changes which we hope will make pick-up even easier. 1. Half shares will [...]
Farmer Kurt Writes…
Howdy Everyone, Well I am finally getting to a point where I have my witts about me again (almost). Work at ADM has finally slowed down. The fall harvest of corn and soybeans began at the end of the CSA season. So I made my yearly leap from one busy season to another. (Each year [...]

Merry Christmas everyone. My week started off with a nice treat — a pork neckbone and pigsfoot from Corinna’s freezer. We are alive and well, although matted fur and muddy paws are the norm these days. Josiah turned 6 months old and is a middle-of-the-road 19 pounds. But he’s off the charts for his height [...]

Only a week left until Christmas. I put in a special request to Santa for a big bag of doggie bones. Kurt and Corinna took the boys away last weekend for a real vacation. I know… farmers don’t ever take vacations, right? They headed to Chicago to show the little boys a real, big city. [...]
Former Farm Intern Writes from Peace Corps in Togo, West Africa
This past season, one of our farm staff, Rachael “Reise” Sample, was selected to join the Peace Corps in Togo, West Africa. She called us up and asked if she could volunteer on our farm, since she was required to ”gain agricultural experience” before leaving for her site in the fall. She was a wonderful worker, eager to [...]

Since Kurt is the president of the FFA chapter, he is there today, helping the students, and unloading a whole bunch of his wn scrap metal from our farm. Corinna is really excited to see some of the old “junk” finally leave [...]
