Dear Friends,

To protect the health and well-being of our community, the St Joe’s Farmers Market will be closed until further notice.

As we all slow down and step back from physical contact with one another, let us lean in and connect emotionally with one another. Please reach out if you are in need physically or emotionally. You can reach me at Amanda.Sweetman@stjoeshealth.org.

Farmers market takes winter break

The Farm at St. Joe's is much quieter this time of year.

There will be no farmers market today and we will be on winter break until further notice. This is our planned winter break, which offers Farmer Dan a time to reflect on the past year and plan for the next.  Stay tuned to this blog for further updates.

Thank you for your loyal patronage at our little market this past year. It has been a successful growing season for us and Tilian Farm Development Center.

I’m starting to prepare for seedling production in the heated greenhouse at Matthaei Botanical Garden. Did you know that we start all of our vegetable plants from seed starting in late January?

Thank you, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.

 

Market today. Just in time for Thanksgiving

Did you know you can make superior “pumpkin pie” with butternut squash? Just replace pie pumpkin with butternut squash in your favorite recipe.

Get your last minute Thanksgiving produce today from 11-5 in the main lobby of St. Joe’s Hospital in Ann Arbor.

 Have a happy Thanksgiving from The Farm at St. Joe’s. I am thankful for all of your support and interest in our hospital farm.

The sun sets behind hoophouse 2 on a late winter evening.

Starting this week, the farmers’ market will be held from 11 am – 1 pm at our usual hospital lobby location.

The 3pm – 5pm market will not be held until further notice.

To see what’s for sale, check out our page at Real Time Farms.

We will continue to sell our fresh bagged baby and teenage salad, spinach, kale and greens through the store at Joe’s Java. If you can’t make it to market between 11 am and 1 pm on Wednesday, check the coolers at Joe’s Java!

Spring is a time of transition and Farmer Dan plans to use the extra time on Wednesdays to start and care for seedlings, and to transition the passive solar greenhouses from winter to summer crops.
