As the darkest hour of winter draws near, Lake Divide rolls up it's sleeves and fights back. It took no less than 4 flurries of activity to pull it off, but we reclaimed the hoop houses for Winter production!
This is hoophouse 2 one day prior
This is hoophouse 1 pre-flurries
Hoophouse 1 post flurries
Racing toward the climax of the battle to return to love, we prepped and seeded the final winter field. This area will soon be covered in caterpillar tunnels. We seeded all sorts of cold hardy crops: arugula, tatsoi, sweet turnips, spinach etc
This week on October 1st or 2nd, the harvest moon will rise! One of the two full moons we will be graced with this October! Harvest moons look larger, more orange, and more obvious because of their position in the sky and the time that they rise. Here is a bunch of fun information about harvest moon's and this months harvest moon in particular.

Recipe: Spicy Radish Greens
Adapted from Kalyn's Kitchen
Spicy Stir-Fried Radish Greens and / or Swiss Chard is a spicy vegetable stir-fry you can make with radish greens or swiss chard, or use a combination of greens! It comes with a sweet and spicy sauce one of my favorite kinds!
Makes 4 servings (I doubled the recipe from the original)
about 20 mintues
Ingredients:
Mix together sauce ingredients and set aside
Heat wok or large frying pan.
When it is hot hot hot, add peanut oil and heat until it is shimmering (sizzles with a water drop)
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds, careful not to let it brown! The original recipe says to remove the garlic after, but I would never pull perfectly delicious garlic out of a recipe. Your call.
Add greens and stir/flip constantly, until wilted- about a minute but could be longer.
When greens are wilted add sauce and cook for about 30 seconds more.
Serve Hot!
Notes from the Farm:
We plant 7 months out of the year. We harvest 12 months out of the year and we eat for as many months to boot. The plants that we eat in the winter stay in the ground a lot longer than plants of the same type, sown in the summer. Everything moves a lot slower- less light, less heat, even slow fingers.
Although sometimes in the winter we sneak a few plants into the ground, the majority of our planting is done April through August, followed by one large round towards the end of September and one last Allium hurrah (garlic and spring onions) late October/early November. This is where we find ourselves now- planting for harvests over the next 6 months! Already seeded- Arugula, tatsoi, mustard, turnips, radishes, winter radishes (greens up and gorgeous!!), cilantro. Started in the greenhouse but yet to be planted: parsley, kale, chard, bok choy, scallions, onions, and two gambles- kohlrabi and radicchio. We may also try vit mache- a very cold hardy green with a nutty flavor.
It seems funny to be planning for the winter harvests when we have yet to see the full rise of our fall greens. They are coming my friends. I promise. Arugula, choy, mustard, and broccoli are threatening to join our table any moment!
All the very best to you!
Helen & Jim and The Lake Dividers: Lizz, Malcolm, Kyla, Rachael, Amy, Alyssa, Kathryn, Shana, Annie and Eva!
Lake Divide Farm: Good for the Earth, Good for the Farmers, Good for the People. The Trifecta of sustainability. Good for the earth: Taking care of the natural world is a important, after all, it takes care of us; Good for the farmer: We believe farmers should have livable hours and livable wages; Good for the people: We believe in food equality and bringing our produce to market at an affordable price and keeping it accessible is important to us.
Fresh From the Field!
Quick note: You may notice that the crop list in the email does not always match the crop list in our online store. Items not found online may have sold out or we may not have posted them online. We sometimes do not post crops online that have not come into abundance yet because we don't always know how much (or how little) of a crop will be harvestable by the end of the week so we can't offer it for sale on Tuesday. These items go to market in small quantities. When they come fully into season, we will list them online. This is the best way we have come up with to manage these crops.
That said, you can always add to your order when you pick up at market.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we troubleshoot a whole new (to us) way of doing things.

Staying Active: Something to keep the gears of progress engaged:
Our intention is to update this list monthly. It was last updated September 29th. Just because we are posting new links, the links from previous emails are still relevant. Additionally, you will find some links repeated. This month, I found a whole boatload of great resources from the Michigan Libraries Association. I am particularly excited about the "21 day racial equity challenge" because it specifically relates to Michigan Policy.
In the meantime, keep learning, listening, speaking up, and showing up. We have to continue providing energy for change. There is much to be done. No one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
If you come across resources, readings, or movements that you feel are powerful, please send them our way so we can share them.
I have included below a couple links to readings and some ideas on how to work towards racial equity within your community as well as links to some places where dollars can make a difference.
To read: This list is by no means whatsoever all inclusive.
Anti Racism books for children- from Book Beat in Royal Oak.
This blog also included a few resources to help children cope with crises. Specifically the National Black Children Development Institute's "An Activity Book for African American Families: Helping Children Cope with Crises."

In their words: "Welcome to the Michigan League for Public Policy’s 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge! We would like to thank Food Solutions New England, whose Challenge we have used as a model and adapted to highlight racial inequity and our related policy priorities here in Michigan.
Several years ago, the League made a decision to apply a racial equity lens to the anti-poverty work at the heart of our mission. The disparities in health, wealth and well-being that we seek to eradicate are largely a result of racism enshrined in public policy over the course of U.S. history. Today, we cannot hope to achieve our mission of economic security for all Michiganders without understanding the origins of the concept of race, how it influences us as individuals and as an organization, and how it functions to preserve inequity in our laws, institutions and systems.

"THREE DAYS LEFT! We are now only 12% away from our goal! Thanks thanks to you we have a little over $88,000!
What I’m about to say is a no-no in the world of fundraising however, In the sprit of authenticity & transparency I am going to report out that a big gift of 10k didn’t pan out (this would have have left us only 2% away from our goal). My thought is with only 3 days remaining that we won’t reach our goal however, in the event that we don’t...this campaign has been a huge success because of your support!!
Now I’m not closing the lid just yet! There is still 3 days left! And miracles are abundant!!!
