Maggie's Farm (CSA - Remus)

Maggie's Farm is a new CSA in Remus near the Wheatland Music Festival property.

A farm letter to members begins by sharing that "Maggie’s Farm was created by a group of friends with a desire to build stronger community relationships while focusing on healthy, nutrient dense foods. We decided that the best way to get started was through a community supported agriculture project, which provides fresh seasonal produce to individuals who purchase a 'share' of the farm."

"We do not use any genetically altered seeds, pesticides or petroleum based fertilizers for our crops. Only traditional farming methods and old-fashioned hard work are used at Maggie’s Farm..."

Maggie's Farm is also collaborating with "the Naturopathic Community Center and the Central Michigan Chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation in Mt. Pleasant to offer bi-weekly cooking and food preparation classes, taught by two members of the farm. Classes will include how to put together meals from seasonal produce, seasoning with herbs, canning, pickling, culturing, bread making and more."

Members can also return food waste to be composted. This reduces the amount of waste going into trash bags and it returns nutrients to the soil, which benefits next year’s crops.

One unique aspect of this CSA is its payment system. Members pay on a weekly basis rather than paying the full amount at the beginning of the growing season when funds are normally brought in to cover the costs of seeds and operations.
