It’s a matter of what stores well.” While Holtz stores and supplies many crops through the winter months, he is probably most well known by Ann Arbor residents for his squash and potatoes. Both require their own unique curing process for long-term storage. Most winter crops require cool environments for curing and storage, with winter squash being the exception. Winter squash grows in well-drained, warm soil under full sunlight for two to three months and is harvested just before the first frost. Once harvested, the squash is cured in a heated space for one to two weeks to allow ample time for rinds to harden, flesh to sweeten, and any cuts or bruises to heal. Holtz cures them in a large, heated room, which is kept at 80-85°F in high humidity. Once cured, Holtz stores them on the warmer side of his barn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/7adcf255-7fa6-4aba-b72b-89a64af4ae63/_RAW1886.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Extending Michigan Farming: Farming for Winter with Norm Holtz - Another great structure, which Holtz utilizes, is a “hoop house.” Hoop houses are tunnel-like structures covered in a “poly covering” (which is a large UV-resistant plastic tarp). While root cellars serve as a storage space for vegetables, hoop houses actually extend their growing season, allowing local farms to grow crops into late fall. Solar energy passes through the poly covering of each house, creating a slightly warmer and more humid environment for the crops than the temperature outside. The structures also protect crops from harsh weather and frost. Holtz uses hoop houses to grow spinach and some other crops until late fall, when he transfers them for storage in his barn. The utilization of coolers, root cellars, and hoop houses is a demonstration of how much planning, organizing, and infrastructure it takes for local farmers to be able to consistently feed communities in colder climates, where growing food year-round isn’t an option. https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2026/2/5/paczki-day monthly 0.5 2026-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/74b0435e-9d09-424b-a9d8-e74f1894f415/Packzi-4.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Polish Tradition In The Midwest: Pączki Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/4bd3476d-fc0d-47e8-b0b3-ff0e77fed282/Bakery-Storefront-3+%281%29.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Polish Tradition In The Midwest: Pączki Day - Make it stand out Delicious pastries offered from Crust Bakery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/6ae0f269-db2e-4f3c-9c93-0c38d1b61010/Packzi-9.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Polish Tradition In The Midwest: Pączki Day - Chad, Mary Beth, and the bakers find that it’s most important to serve the pączki fresh, so they bake everything the day before Pączki Day instead of preparing and selling the treat weeks in advance (as many major grocers do). As with all of their other baked goods, Crust ensures the pączki are made with the highest quality ingredients. The bakery prepares over eight thousand donuts each year, with Argus Farm Stop accounting for about half of their production. Last year, they made 8,364, using about 240 pounds of dough. Crust begins the baking process at around noon the day prior to Pączki Day. They start by making the dough from scratch, scaling and weighing it out. They then begin baking the donuts, working through the night until they are done about twelve to thirteen hours later. Their first delivery is to Argus Farm Stop. They send their truck filled to the brim with pączki, and the driver has a key so they can drop them off early in the morning before driving back to Fenton to pick up the rest of their deliveries. The production is non-stop until they make their deliveries at 3 A.M. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/b3e534e1-22dc-4208-9537-f334fed4153b/Packzi-3.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Polish Tradition In The Midwest: Pączki Day - You can pre-order pączki on Argus Farm Stop’s website until noon on February 15, the Sunday prior to Pączki Day. There are five delicious flavors to choose from, including lemon, raspberry, strawberry, chocolate cayenne, and prune. Argus Farm Stop will also be selling a limited amount of pączki for you to purchase in store on Pączki Day. We hope to see you at one of our locations on February 17 to partake in the fun tradition, enjoy a pączek with your morning coffee, and converse with friends and neighbors. Alternatively, you can visit Chad and the team at Crust Bakery in Fenton on Pączki Day. They will be offering three additional flavors—cream, mango, and caramel apple—as well as their king cakes and cherry crumb pies. https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2026/1/9/let-local-food-fuel-your-studies-cooking-for-college-students monthly 0.5 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/c96ffcc3-60df-4370-ad75-54c2f5b82ee1/IMG_0832.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Let Local Food Fuel Your Studies: Cooking For College Students - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2025/12/5/chestnuts-and-hazelnuts-in-michigan-vicary-road-farm monthly 0.5 2025-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/78b3a298-9a4d-4d9d-a42d-d361c16377c3/image17.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Chestnuts and Hazelnuts in Michigan: Vicary Road Farm - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/dc6c9318-39ee-49ff-a091-4b1ab4131ee6/image3.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Chestnuts and Hazelnuts in Michigan: Vicary Road Farm - At Vicary Road Farm, located in Southeast Michigan, Virginia Rinkel and her husband grow a wonderful variety of chestnuts and hazelnuts. The chestnuts are delivered to the cooperative they belong to, Chestnut Growers, Incorporated. Virginia told us all about how Vicary Road Farm got started, the nature of chestnut and hazelnut farming in Michigan, and how CGI operates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/1e118222-6f30-4831-b633-9f9582214132/image12.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Chestnuts and Hazelnuts in Michigan: Vicary Road Farm - It takes a lot of consideration and research to figure out what varieties you want to grow as a tree nut farmer in Michigan. In 1904, the 4 million American chestnut trees, from Maine to Georgia, were nearly wiped from existence due to a fungal blight called Cryphonectria parasitica. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/326acf09-8acb-4f79-9874-95ee7d049d3c/image18.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Chestnuts and Hazelnuts in Michigan: Vicary Road Farm - As far as what it takes to grow chestnuts, it is “very intense for small growers.” This can be taken quite literally, as Virginia is only 5’3, and chestnut trees can get up to 50 feet tall, so she does her best to spray from the ground up. Virginia and her husband recently invested in hiring a real helper, a drone spray and its flight manager. The drone hovers 10 feet above the trees from the top down, and sprays pesticide from the top of the tree down to its roots. This works wonders in eliminating weevil, a common pest for chestnut trees. Fertilizing is less labor-intensive, since they only have to fertilize the trees twice in the spring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/9787ae26-7ab3-4f50-a609-e72091b0ecea/image1.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Chestnuts and Hazelnuts in Michigan: Vicary Road Farm - Chestnuts and hazelnuts are also quite versatile. Virginia personally enjoys chestnuts best when they are simply roasted, though she sometimes uses them in her chestnut stuffing recipe. Hazelnuts, specifically the Yamhill variety, are “very sweet and tasty,” and can be used to make a hazelnut spread or crumbled throughout seasonal desserts. If their flavors weren’t enough, “chestnuts are also incredibly healthy, and high in vitamin A, E, and C.” https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2025/11/4/why-you-should-purchase-a-local-turkey-this-thanksgiving-webbed-foot-pines monthly 0.5 2025-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/8c2c8be4-7405-40f9-a4fc-3797f6dc1d90/LucasDickerson_kids_turkeys1018+%281%29.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Why You Should Purchase A Local Turkey This Thanksgiving: Webbed Foot Pines https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/fbb929ea-0fda-48fe-b899-3970ff033ae1/Lucas+turkey+delivery+11+21+17.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Why You Should Purchase A Local Turkey This Thanksgiving: Webbed Foot Pines - Lucas has been a mainstay here at Argus Farm Stop, first selling with us in 2015, after we’d been open for only a year. He’s operated his farm for much longer though, starting his farm as an LLC in 2001. Back then, it was a hobby hatchery farm, but he soon realized his greatest interest was in raising the birds himself, and it’s taken a lot of experience to get to where he is now. “Back then, I had 45 different kinds of ducks and geese, and I was shipping day-old ducks and geese all over the country of each individual breed. I did that for a few years, but that just wasn’t me. My dad was a traditional farmer—grain, crops, beef cattle, a few hogs, and a few chickens. My grandpas on both sides farmed. My grandpa Dickerson lived on their farm—165 acres—he fed and raised their kids. They had a huge orchard. My grandpa on the other side was a farmer as well—grain crops.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/49024103-0f1e-4ed0-9366-2e0222ac05b5/IMG_2025.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Why You Should Purchase A Local Turkey This Thanksgiving: Webbed Foot Pines - “Our turkeys are all pasture raised. We let them out during the day, so they’re allowed to forage on pasture and grass for bugs, snails, slugs, or anything they can find—they’ll eat it. We bring them back in at night for non-GMO feed, and lock them up to keep them safe from predators.” One concern shoppers have these days when it comes to buying food with better growing practices, like organic grown or locally grown, is the price. Local turkeys can often end up a little pricier than the turkeys offered in major grocers. Why is it that local grocery stores are able to offer turkeys at a lower price than local farmers? Part of the reason is that many grocery stores will price turkeys as a “loss leader”. The turkeys will be sold for a price lower than the cost of the turkey, increasing demand. At supermarkets, where many products are for sale at one location, the loss at the turkey sale is made up for by the other products people will buy in one visit. This leaves farmers out in the cold. We are not paying a price that values their labor, and devalues any cost added growing practices like using non-GMO feed, pasture raising, and more. But the incentive of paying for a local turkey isn’t just in the value of the labor practices, it’s also in the quality of the bird you get. “For me, it’s the fresh, never frozen turkey. Many supermarket turkeys are not always fresh, never frozen. Some of them are, but the turkeys that you’ll get from Webbed Foot Pines for Thanksgiving will be less than ten days fresh, so about as fresh as they come.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/d60a76fc-dd1f-422a-bcae-394b974b1daf/IMG_5614.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Why You Should Purchase A Local Turkey This Thanksgiving: Webbed Foot Pines - “Heritage breed is more of an old school breed. A lot of them are non-existent, or very few are around. They don’t have the massive bodies or huge breasts like the large turkeys you see typically nowadays. They’re a much smaller bird, and most will reproduce themselves, whereas the commercial lines will not do that. I’m actually dabbling with a small line of some Beltsville Small Whites—I have a couple pairs at home I’m actually going to try to hatch and produce on my own.” Bird farming usually involves ordering the hatchlings from hatcheries in the mail. Webbed Foot Pines is unique in that Lucas and his family hatch a large variety of their own birds, including the heritage breed turkeys. “We hatch a lot of our own poultry and water fowl—ducks, geese, chickens, turkeys. We have incubators in the basement and have the capacity to hatch large numbers. I can run about 1600 eggs at full capacity in our basement right now.” Lucas has dedicated his life to what he loves, and his passion comes through clearly in his work and the wonderful quality of the birds and eggs he supplies Argus Farm Stop with. https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2025/10/2/michigans-native-fruit-paw-paws-with-david-swain monthly 0.5 2025-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/d9d2d798-c128-4529-a890-7a29fffa3ca5/Untitled+design+%2835%29.png Tales From The Farm Stop - Michigan’s Native Fruit: Paw paws with David Swain - Make it stand out David Swain with his crop of paw paws this year at Argus Farm Stop - Packard Market https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/d2289b4e-c3e6-42b3-bff3-ce09a715a71f/ADKq_NYwkFMaKxQEdP2IiGm5lu29-y4s.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - Michigan’s Native Fruit: Paw paws with David Swain - “They’re so exotic, but they’re native to Michigan. They grow within a few miles from here. People always overlook them because they’re so persnickety, and there’s not much time getting them from the tree to the user before they turn to mush. The few weeks they’re in season over here, I come down to share my bounty.” What is the history of paw paws, and why are they the only culinary fruit tree native to North America? David’s love of paw paws extended to his knowledge of their history, as he enlightened us to how their history represents the ancient history of the American Midwest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/6fa3f2ac-4ec3-4225-aec0-af925a3e318a/Paw+Paw+poster.JPG Tales From The Farm Stop - Michigan’s Native Fruit: Paw paws with David Swain - Another reason paw paws are a mystery to much of our community is the question of how to enjoy one. Paw paws start off very hard and bright green, but this is not the time to enjoy one. You want to wait for the fruit to get quite soft, and lose much of its bright green color. You shouldn’t eat the skin or the seeds inside. Paw paws can be made into other dishes but David’s favorite way to eat them is straight from the tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/1e71e2d9-d42c-4710-a231-ec3c877f7563/paw+paws+just+picked+9+18+18.JPG Tales From The Farm Stop - Michigan’s Native Fruit: Paw paws with David Swain - “They go from being unripe to too ripe very rapidly, and they don’t travel well. If I’ve got a bunch of paw paws, I get a bunch of grocery store plastic bags to deliver them in, because the plastic supports the whole thing. If you lay them in a box, the weight will affect them, so you can’t stack them up at all. They’re very delicate.” https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2025/9/11/wtpof monthly 0.5 2025-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/2c77f7d0-d7a6-4dc6-849e-62eeaf702a04/2995992209142865307.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - Growing People By Growing Food: We The People Opportunity Farm - Make it stand out Argus Farm Stop’s own Tess Rian and WTPOF Founder & Executive Director Melvin Parson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/e7e0ecfa-e965-4d6d-b8f7-5894914a444c/WTPOFentrance.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Growing People By Growing Food: We The People Opportunity Farm - “Once I started growing food, I noticed how having my hands in the soil really helped ground me and slow down the noise inside of my head, so I kept forging forward, not having any idea of where this was going to take me.

Interns are paid $21 an hour for sixteen to twenty hours a week, but they also access what Melvin calls “soil-amending components of life.” “We have financial literacy and compassionate communication workshops, social and emotional learning curriculum, and, of course, wellness therapy. We’ve got music therapy this year. They’re also connected to Michigan Works for job skills and training.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/c2638b72-1d11-4b29-a594-0718df03fd39/WTPOFCollardHarvest.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - Growing People By Growing Food: We The People Opportunity Farm - “[Collards are an] easy fit in our farm model. We get a new cohort of interns every year, and most of the folks are not familiar with farming. So, growing collard greens and harvesting them is a simple task or step. [Our] farming plan was done with the help of a wonderful person—her name is Jane Gearhart. She came outside the farm and helped me design what we still hold true to be our foundational crop plan.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/76482677-e06d-4be8-b7a9-2af9de3b37e5/WTPOFTeam Tales From The Farm Stop - Growing People By Growing Food: We The People Opportunity Farm - “We won’t be hiring formerly incarcerated men and women to sell coffee and baked goods, we will be selling baked goods and coffee to hire formerly incarcerated men and women.” https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2025/8/7/local-tomatoes-green-things monthly 0.5 2025-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/11173530-3d32-40e6-a75d-7ba4183a85e8/IMG_1641.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Local Tomato Difference: Green Things Farm Collective - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/48ff2a7f-e368-46c1-85cf-ed66ec773516/IMG_1643.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Local Tomato Difference: Green Things Farm Collective - “Three years ago we did a big hiring season, increasing the size of the team. It’s really cool how Green Things has continued to evolve with the collective nature of five owners working together. They find their niche with their strengths and someone else fills their weaknesses.” When we pick up a delicious tomato from your farmers market or farm stand, the fantastic taste and texture has us wondering what goes into local tomato farming that sets the harvests so high and above the usual tomato at a grocery store? Eli articulated to us how tomato farming is an upfront investment. The payoff of great harvests comes much later, after the plant has received the vast majority of its care. “It takes a lot of labor; trellising and pruning. You need to take care of the plant before it’s producing any tomatoes and if you can put that work in up front, maintaining the plant, this can make the harvesting feel relatively easy.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/bb3390ae-a63d-48e8-b64f-ddb41dfeb624/IMG_1642.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Local Tomato Difference: Green Things Farm Collective - “Tomatoes are one of my favorite things to grow as you can get really technical with how you grow them. You can let them grow out in the field with no pruning and let them grow wild. You could go super high tech with multi-bay greenhouses where everything’s stale with hydroponic mediums. We’re somewhere in between with unheated hoop houses and irrigation. We control exactly how much water is getting to the plants, helping keep the leaves dry and preventing disease. Not having heat shortens our season, but we get a lot of the benefit of it being in a covered space.” The more high tech, the more up-front costs farms will have to invest in themselves, and many small farms starting out don’t have the access to that capital. So, while greenhouses are used in Michigan to grow tomatoes for a longer season than the outside temperatures will permit, many farms don’t have that option. Products at Argus Farm Stop, and the availability of crops at Green Things Farm Collective as well, are representative of the constraints of the Michigan growing season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/9152cb84-a607-470c-b5bd-014da0fd31e0/IMG_1658.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Local Tomato Difference: Green Things Farm Collective - “[What defines an heirloom tomato,] the shape is the first thing that comes to mind. What I would call a slicer is that perfect round red tomato, whereas heirloom tomatoes are flatter. There’s a lot of variety in the heirlooms. One of our favorites on the farm is the Marigolds. It’s a yellow tomato with a kind of red bottom, so you get a multi-color look. We have another that’s a Cherokee Purple. You can definitely tell the difference in taste between something that’s grown locally and a lot of what you’re getting at the grocery store.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/209b37a8-1336-4d62-8b3c-ca41f7255e13/IMG_1650.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Local Tomato Difference: Green Things Farm Collective - When Argus Farm Stop employees think of Green Things Farm Collective, we think of beautiful, consistent, wonderfully grown, and deliciously tasting produce. If there was one vegetable that we think of though, it would probably be their huge, crisp lettuce heads and mixes. What goes into great lettuce farming? “We have two main categories of lettuce; head lettuce, and our cut lettuce mix. We have five different varieties of head lettuce that we rotate throughout the season. Some of them are more heat tolerant. Those are the ones we’re growing in the hottest months of July and August. Some are more cold tolerant, we’re planting more of those varieties in the shorter seasons. Our cut lettuce mix stays the same throughout the whole season but it’s a combination of four different varieties in one bed.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/f28a134e-b857-419f-be30-ae1973369a9c/IMG_1654.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Local Tomato Difference: Green Things Farm Collective - Like all farms, Green Things spreads out their products across many sales channels to maintain a diverse and consistent demand. In addition to selling through both Argus Farm Stop markets, Green Things Farm Collective maintains an on-farm stand with their products as well as other options from around Ann Arbor and Michigan. There are multiple other channels they go through as well. https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/the-beauty-of-local-flowers monthly 0.5 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/bbd59787-e42b-4ae4-9845-7a2248fc1e3a/Team+Muehlhuaser+2022.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Beauty Of Local Flowers On And Off The Farm: Raindance Farm - Make it stand out Kristen Muelhauser and her family at Raindance Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/b4645491-d50f-4d82-8b7f-4ba0513b232d/42550928-0D28-4D1B-B896-F383EE17.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Beauty Of Local Flowers On And Off The Farm: Raindance Farm - People found solace in the flowers growing on Raindance Farm, bringing them home to brighten the dark days of the pandemic. Kristen’s flower patches grew bigger each year, and she realized that these brought her the most joy on the farm. As Kristen and her husband later welcomed their third child, they decided to put all of their energy as farmers into growing flowers. “In 2023, I decided to take a sabbatical year and had my third kiddo. The farm had 7 or 8 people working there, so it was a very busy, full life. So that year, I just grew flowers and let go of growing vegetables. It made me so happy. Sometimes cutting out the things that are the most challenging and just going with what brings joy can be amazing.” So, what’s the difference between growing flowers and growing produce? “You still start with seeds, transplant, weed, irrigate, harvest, and take to market. I would say the main thing that’s different about vegetable production is that there’s a ton of washing and packing. Being first generation farmers with a bootstrap budget, we don’t have the newly built barn with the correct food safety walls. That takes a ton of time when you’re not set up well. “Flowers are also very labor intensive and take up a lot of time. We make bouquets, which is probably equal in labor, but I think the crew of folks that have stuck around, we love making bouquets.

In the spring and now in the winter, we grow a lot of anemones; tulips; and daffodils, which is kind of surprising. There are so many fun, special ones. “That’s followed up by peonies, dahlias, and sunflowers. We do something special with heirloom chrysanthemums in the fall. We’re researching what we’re going to plant on September 1st for Christmas and the winter holidays. We’re trying to hit that date in December, which is hard because there’s very little sunlight in Michigan. We’re trying to get a bunch of successions going to see what works well in our latitude with less than 10 hours of sun.” Despite the challenges that come up with growing in the cold Michigan climate, Kristen notes why it is so important to purchase locally grown flowers, as opposed to the ones you can get in any major grocery store. “We work hard to follow best practices for cut flowers, so if you pick up your flowers at the farmer’s market while it’s cool outside, a lot of our flowers will last 2-3 weeks. Customers say ‘These last so much longer than the ones at the grocery store.’ This is because 80% of flowers in America are imported, mostly from South America and Europe. There used to be a big cut flower industry here. Because of trade and tariff changes in the 70’s, it became inexpensive for farms in South America to ship flowers here. But there’s been a resurgence in the last 5-10 years.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/376db005-9bc5-4e24-a368-3f4f31aca519/IMG_9983.jpg Tales From The Farm Stop - The Beauty Of Local Flowers On And Off The Farm: Raindance Farm - Alex then asked Kristen what her favorite flower is, to which she endearingly responded: “My birthday is in the first week of June. When my daughter Abby was 7, I was extremely pregnant. It was the pandemic, so things were still shut down. We went down to the hill at the side of our farm. I could only stand up because of my big belly, so I dug the holes, and she carefully put the peony roots in the ground. I kept saying ‘Abby, this is going to be great! These will be blooming when you have children, and maybe for your grandchildren.’ “She was very precise. You can only put peonies an inch below the soil, or else they will get too cold and die off, or if they’re too deep, they’ll never flower. It was a mother-daughter team effort, and now we have an insane amount of peonies blooming. We added another 600 last fall. Give us 5 years and we should have tens of thousands for June.” https://www.argusfarmstop.com/farm-stop-blog/2025/6/8/slow-and-steady-wins-the-race-michigan-strawberries-at-slow-farm monthly 0.5 2025-07-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/d9ddabdd-8a99-4231-a0e5-1e700d17354c/IMG_1340.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Michigan Strawberries at Slow Farm - As someone who was raised in a hot, arid environment, I can’t say the term “local strawberries” had previously been a part of my vocabulary. I only ate strawberries that my family bought from the few major grocery stores in my area. These strawberries were produced at mass scales year-round, most likely thousands of miles away in California, and were practically flavorless. I didn’t understand the hype around the fruit until I moved to Southeast Michigan and had my first local strawberry. There is no strawberry quite as sweet or special as one that is grown locally in its short June season. I have since resorted to only purchasing the fruit during these few weeks out of the year, not only to enjoy their uniquely delicious flavor and aroma, but also because of the opportunity to support farmers in my area, like Kim Bayer of Slow Farm Organic. Alex Blume of Argus Farm Stop recently spoke with Kim about her farm and her strawberry growing practices. Before getting into their interview, it is important to understand basic elements of the strawberry plant and how it is grown in other areas—namely California. The strawberry plant is extremely complex. It has eight sets of chromosomes, making it difficult for farmers to genetically replicate and modify the berry so that it can be disease-resistant. Strawberries are prone to wilt, a type of disease caused by fungi in the soil. To combat wilt, industrial farmers have resorted to the use of chemicals that effectively kill anything in the soil that can cause damage to the plant. The two chemicals used—methyl bromide and chloropicrin—unfortunately also have the effect of killing everything in the soil, thus causing potential environmental harm and killing anything potentially beneficial for the plant. In 2015, industrial farmers were no longer allowed to use methyl bromide to fumigate the soil, and as a result, resorted to using only chloropicrin. Other farms do not fumigate the soil at all, but (often unknowingly) buy their baby strawberry plants from nurseries that still use methyl bromide. (Graber and Twilley, 2019) A freshly picked strawberry at Slow Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/9d3b058e-8784-4443-8816-9532b8cd3916/IMG_1341.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - Slow and Steady Wins the Race: Michigan Strawberries at Slow Farm - Compared to other crops, strawberries are far more complicated to grow on a large scale while also guaranteeing great flavor, quality, and high resistance to wilt. Since Slow Farm is a small scale farm located in Ann Arbor, Michigan, they do not have to worry about some of the same problems that pop up at large scale farms in California. Here, the soil, environment, and the overall practices Kim uses are different. However, Kim still faces two major problems when growing strawberries: weeds and extreme weather fluctuation.

The garlic scapes are ready to harvest, so we’ll probably start with that. We have U-Pick snap peas; kids really love the sugar snap peas. We have U-Pick tomatoes and U-Pick flowers. We just finished up our asparagus season. We had U-Pick asparagus. Most people haven’t seen how asparagus grows, so when they see it they’re really shocked and amazed that it sticks up out of the ground like a finger. It’s a really surprising plant.

One solution to the problem of mass production is for consumers to change the way they consume by purchasing produce in season from local farmers. In doing so, we guarantee that we are eating fruits and vegetables while they are most flavorful and nutritious. Perhaps more importantly, we are presented with the opportunity to get to know our farmers and how they grow food.

We begin to see green garlic, green onions, and radishes as the sun comes out. But as the days turn from just above freezing, to so sunny your soul begs to stay outside, we see the arrival of asparagus, foraged morels, and ramps, signifying a moment of the season. Ramps are a special item in our store due to their cultivation, or lack thereof. Farmers can’t grow ramps at scale for the most part, so when ramps are harvested, it’s more of a foraging activity than a farming one. Our good friends at Monroe Family Organics in Alma, Michigan supply us with the vast majority of our ramps. We chatted with them to learn more about how they harvest Ramps, how they sell local produce to consumers, and different certification options for farms. We’re always excited to have produce that is native to our region, such as strawberries, and ramps. Ramps are native to the forests of eastern North America. “They’re an onion type plant. They look like a lilly and grow in the woods.” Fred Monroe of Monroe Family Organics tells us. Along with other alliums like green onions and garlic, ramps grow from a bulb in the ground, growing two leaves out in the spring. This time of late April into May is when the ramps are visible and able to be harvested by foragers. (Jessee and Ram, 2024) Michele Monroe with a ramp harvest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/531fabaee4b0c65832264bc6/2ace400e-43a3-4c04-9dd3-b25e91ed5198/IMG_1133.jpeg Tales From The Farm Stop - Ramps, Organic Certifications, and more with Monroe Family Organics - Ramps aren’t usually cultivated like almost all of our produce because they take a very long time to grow to maturity. From seed, ramps can take 7-10 years to fully develop into a harvestable ramp. Because of this extended period of time, foragers need to be sustainable and consider the environment when they forage. Taking too many bulbs from a ramp patch can cause the patch to diminish in size. The dangers to this local treasure is evident by the state of a particular variety of ramp, Allium tricoccum var. Burdickii, which environmentalists fear could go extinct. Foraging sustainably for ramps involves never taking more than 10% of the bulbs of a ramp patch, leaving ample bulbs to continue to propagate. The Monroe Family follows this rule and then some in their harvest. “We harvest by hand with garden forks, walking throughout a 40+ acre wood. We harvest about 1-2% of the ramps every year, way below the recommended sustainable harvest maximum of 10% which is probably conservative already. We do no-clear cutting, leaving a few of every clump we harvest to make sure they are still spread all over the woods.” With access to ramp patches spreading across 40+ acres, the Monroes have been able to satisfy all the demand Argus Farm Stop customers have had the past couple years during ramp season. With their unique garlicky-onion taste, ramps are a specialty for chefs, but not everyone will be ready for their flavor. Some great ways to cook ramps involve sautéing the bulbs and leaves, pickling the bulbs, and even our recommended recipe of a Ramp Pesto! See our recipe at the bottom of this post to learn to make this great dish.

It was just an open pasture with no infrastructure and we built it into the farm it is today.” Now, the Monroe Family Farm has built out a 300 person CSA, and increased the family size with three kids. Fred and Michele run the farm with two full-time and two part-time employees. They sell through Argus Farm Stop, other grocery/markets, and farm boxes such as Argus Farm Stop’s Weekly Produce Box. They grow a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, edible flowers, and even a microgreen mix. Shoppers at Argus Farm Stop will recognize Monroe Family Organics for their cherry tomatoes, salad mix, potatoes, and carrots in addition to their ramps. Having these products to fill out our store is exciting not only because of how delicious they are, but Monroe Family Organics is one of our producers that is certified organic. We try to offer an organic option for as much of our produce as we can to our customers and while many producers use organic practices, not all of them have the certification.

This has led to the rise of alternative forms of certification such as the Real Organic Project, Certified Naturally Grown, and Good Agricultural Practices certifications. Multiple of our producers such as Green Things Farm Collective and The Farm On Jennings have sought out these alternative certifications that may have even more strict specifications than the USDA, and/or may have more farm friendly pricing structures. Monroe Family Organics were previously Good Agricultural Practices certified in addition to the USDA certification, but have not renewed that certification. “We didn’t see the need for an extra expense and time. We did learn some valuable things to keep in practice even after we dropped the GAP certification.” With different certifications on the rise, each with their own sets of rules and reapplications, farms and consumers can have a hard time keeping track of what each label may mean for their food. For now, the organic certification straight from the USDA still holds the standard in consumer’s minds for what “organic” means. With that standardization of the inspections and processes, Monroe Family Organics can count on their certification meaning something to their customers. Since 2018, we’ve been overjoyed to have their products available at our markets. You can buy fantastic and flavorful spinach, spring mix, ramps, green onions, green garlic, and more from Monroe Family Organics at Argus Farm Stop’s Liberty and Packard Market locations.
