We have 350 CSA Farm Boxes / shares, passed out over a 24-week period, 5 farm markets from June-October, two food co-ops, a food-hub, and some restaurants.  We have a year-round farm and CSA. 

There is enough work to keep you busy at least 20 and upto 40 hours a week during the Winter/Spring, depending on the time of Winter//Spring.

Best perks?  We are located in gorgeous northwest lower Michigan, a tourist destination due to our many gorgeous lakes, rolling landscapes, wine country and fruit orchards.  Our farm is located 1.5 miles from Barnes County Park and campground on Lake Michigan, and .5 miles from a small beach and boat access on beautiful Torch Lake (as you can see a bit in the above picture).
