It's hard to believe we're in the 11th month of 2015. Even though it finally turned cold Thursday, on Tuesday, we saw 60 degrees and honey bees in the flowers above! Mild weather has been very helpful as far as working on the exterior of the barn, planting garlic & cover crops, as well as being able to complete the harvest of all our potatoes, carrots, cabbage, beets, parsnips and other root crops this week and next.
We're thankful that we still have 45 items available to our area co-ops, CSA members and markets, from arugula to winter squash!
If you would like to shop ala carte, we are now offering weekly Build Your Own Box of Farm-Fresh Goodness options, which includes local pastured chicken from Cook's Family Farm and whitefish and Lake Char filets from the straits of Mackinaw while supplies last. We need 2 days notice before pick-up or delivery.
We also offer Winter Storage Shares. If you'd like to save money by buying in bulk, we have a wide-range of root crops, potatoes, onions and winter squash available for you! We need 2 days notice before pick-up or delivery.
**Last chance to order a Cook Family Farm's fresh pastured Thanksgiving turkey! Pick-up here at our special Tuesday evening Thanksgiving Farm Market, 4:30-6:00. Just reply to this email with desired pounds. Cost is $3.94/lb.
If you are closer to Gaylord, Boyne, Petoskey or Charlevoix, email them directly at: cookfamilyfarm@hotmail.com Same price.

Feeling especially thankful for all of our local support. We actually get to
live our passion to grow stunningly good food... and employ a wonderful group of hard-working individuals from our community, contribute thousands of pounds of nutritious, organic vegetables to area food pantries, give CSA shares to individual families, train future farmers, educate school groups, and keep over 130 acres of farm land in organic certification!
There's no way we could do any of this with out you, our local farm community. We are beyond grateful. God bless you and your family, as you enjoy the sweet goodness of living foods that nourish, mind, body and soul. ~ Andrea
This week's garden shares have more than enough for the 2 Tb.s fresh sage it calls for. :-)
