The magical full moon lights our way into a season of velvety nights and candle light. See you on the other side (on some moments in between.)
Come see us tomorrow at Eastern (9am to 3pm) or Royal Oak at (7am  to 1pm) or Ann Arbor on Wednesday!

And our thank you note again!

A loving thank you from the Lake Dividers to all of our market friends:
For the first time in 8 years, we are taking a break from winter growing. As every growing season does, this year brought many challenges and as many gifts. We will curl up in the winter’s den and focus on better caring for ourselves, the earth, and our market family (you)! Don’t worry, we will make sure to leave time to celebrate, connect, and simply enjoy each other’s company.
We want to thank you so much for your continuous support this year and every year. It has come in the form of kind words spoken and written, gifts for our growing family, feeding us delicious treats, the sharing of ideas, and of course choosing our vegetables from the smorgasbord of choices at markets. Thank you will never be enough to say what is in our hearts so please hear our deep gratitude and big love for you.

Details of our break:
  • You may see us turn up at market from time to time this winter. We have a lot of storage roots. Please look for our emails or facebook posts for notifications. www.lakedividefarm.com
  • We plan to return to the Eastern and Royal Oak Markets in early spring (possibly as early as March) and the Ann Arbor markets in later spring. We may resume Stockbridge pick-ups in the spring as well. Please check our website for details as they emerge.
  • If you want to connect with us during the winter months, please send us an email. I will try to check weekly. We may not respond quickly, but we will make every effort to respond eventually. lakedividefarm@gmail.com
Much love to you and your family. Please take good care of each other and see you in the future!

-Helen, Jim & Wiley (Plus Exie and Boomer)

No preorder for these markets!

As we get close to the big resting season we have laid out for ourselves, we are still going full tilt. Jim and Tyler made moves of "Wash Pack Expansion". This space is designed to give us more protected space to process the crops coming in from the field. These steps are only the beginning to the improvements.
Picture
A view from the south! You can see our storage containers, the new expansion (roofless as of now) and our original wash station. SO much more room!

Another Frosty Sunrise!
We want our vegetables in your feast so we will be attending the Tuesday T-day markets for Eastern and Royal Oak, plus the Ann Arbor Wednesday market. 

We are also interested in offering bulk vegetables to send you off into the winter. If this is something you are interested in, please send an email and we will add you to the list. At the very least we will have Radishes of all types and Purple top turnips. We may also have kohlrabi, garlic, cabbage, and brussel sprouts. 

As noted We are not going to attend winter markets this year.  Here is a link to the explanation from previous week's emails. In the meantime, I just want to take a minute to reassure you that we are okay and will be back in the spring. We are resourceful, thoughtful, and dedicated. If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out.
