Swier Family Farm (CSA - Remus/Barryton)

The Swier Family Farm is a CSA (community supported agriculture) in Mecosta County that is beginning its third year (2008).

From the farm flyer:

"For 18 weeks, June through September, you will receive a 4-12 pound assortment of fresh vegetables and limited flowers. The quantity and variety will vary seasonally. If you like mixed bouquets we have added an additional flower share. We will deliver the produce to central drop-off locations or you can pick it up at the farm. We practice organic methods, though we are not certified."

Payment Options (Due by April 1)

• $325 Pay full amount
• $55 Flower Share (8 wks. mixed bouquets)
• Contact Chris or Kate for other options or to express interest in pasture-raised chicken, turkey or pork.

I talked with one member of this CSA who really appreciated the experience last year. I know Green Tree (214 N. Franklin St., Mt. Pleasant) is one drop-off point, but you'll need to contact the farm to learn where other drop-offs are.

Want to volunteer? Just contact Chris or Kate about possibilities.

For more information, pick-up the farm's brochure at Green Tree or contact the Swiers (sh-ware).
