In my last Farm & Food post, I mentioned part of this project would be to take a look at where real food comes from and how it looks as it grows. Well, I had the lucky opportunity to visit Honest Eats Farm on one of the most springlike days we’ve seen yet in this part of Michigan in order to witness the beginnings of food that will be delivered as part of farm’s CSA program. I am happy to report that spring seems to exist (even if it’s only inside of the hoop houses at the moment)!
Honest Eats Farm is currently housed at Tilian Farm Development Center, a local farm incubator, where its owner, Bill, graciously showed me around and taught me many things as I admired the growing edibles. While I was there, I was able to taste some deliciously sweet spinach as well as some sunflower greens and pea shoots (which quickly became a favorite). I could go on and on but I’ll just leave you with photographs for now of what things look like on a farm as we neared early spring…and a bit of thanks to Bill for hosting me at the farm.
