We're glad you found us!

Providence Farm is owned and operated by Ryan and Andrea Romeyn.  Ryan has been farming since 1998 and operating a CSA, since 2002, previously at the Wagbo Peace Center in East Jordan.  (CSA stands for community supported agriculture, meaning that our immediate community supports our family farm.  People who live in this region buy our vegetables, strawberries and meats from us, locally, instead of buying these same items in the grocery store, where one may find that their produce and meats travel here from a different state or country.)

       We are in the process of renewing our annual organic certification for our 5th growing season at our own property just outside of Eastport, (1 mile east of US 31 at Eastport, on M-88, at the top of a hill on the right.)

       Ryan and I are committed to growing our food using sustainable farming practices. We use organic soil amendments and pest control, crop rotation and cover cropping. We annually test our soils and amend according to recommendations with compost being the primary ingredient.  This year our USDA organic certification through OEFFA (Ohio Ecological Farm & Food Association) will cover over 20 acres of mixed vegetables and  strawberries!  

        Before you read on, you may be wondering if... our 18 week CSA delivers to your area?  Besides veggie pick-up at our farm on Tuesdays and Fridays, we do deliver to East Jordan (Tue.), Petoskey (Tue.), Beaver Island (Thur.), Charlevoix (Thur.), Gaylord (Thur.), Elk Rapids (Fri.), Boyne City (Sat.), and Traverse City (Sat.).

         You also may be wondering if... we have any other items for sale besides vegetables?  YES!  We grow delicious pastured pork of superior quality using non-GMO feed.  We sell our pork by the side and by the slice.  And we sell our own certified organic strawberries.  In addition to this, we sell pastured poultry for the Cook Family Farm.  We also provide fresh organic blueberries every year for our customers from Holland, MI. You do not have to be a vegetable CSA member to order our other products for sale.

         Pictured here is one happy CSA member is showing us just part of his share one day in October.  Members brought home two different varieties (their choice) winter squash, leeks, sweet onions, carrots, potatoes, a jack-0-lantern, pie pumpkin, melon, rainbow chard and lettuce mix. 

        Our weekly vegetable CSA program serves over 150 families and lasts 18 weeks from the third week of June to mid-October.  (We also have an extended share option in the fall for 4 additional weeks.)  We provide over 70 varieties of in-season vegetables in quantities of about 5 pounds the first week to over 20 pounds by late summer.  For an idea of what will be in your box on any given week, click on "Newsletters" to the left.  Each weekly newsletter lists what is in your share and includes recipes. 

        Shareholders can choose between a medium sized-share appropriate for one to four people depending on vegetable use.  (Sometimes couples will share a med. share) or a large sized share for 5-8 people to share.  For an idea of what is in a share at different times during the season, click on "shares" to the left.
