Stone Coop Farm Feedback Survey

As we mentioned in our announcement of our new property, we need your feedback and ideas for the 2012 season. We will be doubling the amount of land we will be growing on so we will be able to offer many more shares and products. Please complete the short survey by Monday, December 19th.  Thank you for taking the time to help us plan for next year!!!

Stone Coop Farm is expanding!

We just closed on 30 acres in Green Oak Township. It is a beautiful site and we are planning where things will go such as the new hoop houses, barn, well, fields, etc. It is only 3 miles from Hamburg Fitness Center and is located on Musch Rd, behind Holy Spirit Catholic Church. This will allow us to offer more shares and grow a lot more food! In 2012 we will be growing on 5 acres (we had 2 acres in 2011) and we will be starting to offer more products. We will be getting chicks in the spring of 2012 so we will have eggs available next fall/winter. We will be sending out an end of the year survey via email next week for input on the 2011 season and what our customers would like to see on the farm in 2012. This input will be crucial in our planning process. If you are interested in being part of the survey and are not currently on our email list, send an email to Joannee: joannee@stonecoopfarm.com

SCF's new land in Green Oak Township on Musch Road

Winter Sales Begin Today

The hoop house is planted and all ready for our winter crops. If you'd like to see how we will be growing things this winter in our hoop house please let us know.  We'd love to give you a tour.  It's pretty amazing how these crops can survive our Michigan winters without any heat. Here is a photo showing how different the house looks for the winter: hoop house

It is time for us to start our online sales.  Please bear with us as we figure this out.  Your ideas, suggestions and input will be greatly appreciated to help us make this a smooth process for everyone. We will do one next week, one in December and we hope the plants grow enough by mid January to do at least 2 a month from January through April.  We will start our regular weekly markets again in May.

Here is how it will work this winter:  

1. We will email you on Friday letting you know what we have available. (if you're not on our email list and would like to be, send Joannee an email ASAP)

2. Email us your order no later than noon on Monday.  Orders will be taken on first come first serve basis.  

3. We will let you know by Monday night if we can fill your order and if not we will let you know what we can provide.  We will also let you know how much it will cost.

4. Pickup will be at Hamburg Fitness Center.  We will be near the front desk from 4:00PM to 6:30PM.  We will have your order pre-bagged so it is ready to go.  If we have extra items that have not been sold we will have them available too.

Market members - we will be honoring your remaining balances through the end of December.
