Green Garlic, Fresh Eggs and Winter Spinach for sale!

Thank you to so many of you who have come to the farm to pick up eggs and spinach!

We can now offer a new crop that is ready for harvest, Green Garlic.



What's green garlic? This is an item that you'll rarely see at the grocery store. Green garlic is a young garlic that is grown before the bulb matures. It's leaves are long and green and the bulb is small and pale. It looks very similar to an over grown scallion. The flavor is amazing! For those of you that are not a huge garlic fan this may change your mind. This young bulb is not as bold as a mature garlic clove and adds a bit of sweetness to your dish. You can use the green stalks and the white bulb in your recipe. One recipe for this green garlic is with spinach!

Green garlic will be sold as 5 to 6 in a bunch for $3.00.
1/2 pound bags of spinach is $4.00 and eggs are $5.50 a dozen.

Pick up for these items will be available in our farm stand, 17970 W. Millburn Road,
 Sunday through Saturday between 9am and 7pm.

Here is how to place your order:
Please send us an email, tempelfarmsorganics@yahoo.com
 and let us know your name, how many bags of spinach, how many bunches of green garlic
 and how many dozens of eggs you'd like and what day you will be picking up.
 We will confirm your order via email and have your name on your bag waiting for you in the fridge.
We will accept cash or checks written out to Tempel Farms Organics.


More exciting news!

We had 2 baby goats born on Friday April 20th
 and 5 baby goats born on Sunday April  22!
All of them, even their mothers, are healthy and enjoying their new beginnings.

If you come to the farm to pick up your produce come and take a look at these beauties.
Their home is on the east side of the barn.
Please don't feed them as they are all on a special organic diet, mother's milk, organic hay and grain.








We've also added to our livestock............


15 piglets that were born in late February. We bought these piglets from the same farmers as we did last season, Nate and Lou Ann Robinson of  Jake's Country Meats located in Cassopolis Michigan.




We hope that you'll join us for some green garlic, spinach and eggs!

Your farmers,

Tania and Chris Cubberly along with our crew, Tomas, Michelle, Keegan, Duncan and Joe!
