Happy May! Hard to believe how fast this month is going by, isn’t it? The most frequently asked question of late has been: When will greenhouse tomatoes be ready? Answer: Soon! We might be picking some this weekend, but it will take about a week for us to be able to pick in quantities to keep up with demand.

Here’s what we have on the market right now:

Asparagus: We have plenty of asparagus now with the warm weather of this week. Asparagus pricing this year is $2.50 a pound; 3 pounds for $7; or 5 pounds for $11.50. If you get 10 pounds or more, it goes to $2.20 a pound. If you want large quantities (like 20 pounds or more) it helps us if you can call ahead and order it and we can get it ready for you. 269-244-5690.

Rhubarb is ready! Available now for $2.50 a pound. f you need 10 pounds or more, ($2.00 lb) please call us to order in large quantities.

It’s time to plant! The 5 plus inches of rain we have had over the weekend and into Monday have put all of us behind in being able to do spring planting. We are going to work hard to get everything in before it rains again on Saturday! Lots of plants left here this week for home gardens…..we still have a good selection of everything but don’t wait too long in order to get what you want.

Bedding plants:

• Cole crops: Cabbage, kale, Brussel sprouts, various lettuce varieties, broccoli, chard, and spinach
• Flower annuals: We have a huge selection of flower annuals….too many to list
• Tomato plants: We have a large selection of tomatoes (all the ones that we grow here in our own fields) plus mini tomatoes like grape and cherry
• Herbs
• Other “heat loving” vegetable plants like peppers, cucumbers, melons, squash, and eggplant
• Hanging flower baskets: We have lots of hanging baskets, including some of the favorites we carry every year
• Lettuce bowls, for your “pick your own salad”
• Specialty pots made up with flower and herb arrangements
• Large tomato and pepper plants for your patio, porch or yard

Straw: We have extra bales of straw available for your mulching needs. They are $6/bale or 4 bales for $20.

We are currently harvesting lots of lettuce from our certified organic hoophouse as we make room for more plantings. So we will have it on special for $5 a pound this weekend while it lasts. We also have some kale and limited spinach – call if you want it for sure and we’ll put some on hold for you.

• Cookies: Flower Cut Outs, M&M “Monster” Cookies, Ginger Molasses, S’mores, and Lemon

We also have our full line of Hubbard’s Brandy, Double Cherry Wine, and Kaiser Cyser. We plan to start our tastings and tours for the year on Memorial Day weekend. Stay tuned.

Happenings on the Farm:

We emptied the rain gage frequently and sighed each time we went by the “lakes” in our fields. But we took advantage of the “waiting to dry out time” by continuing our spring spruce up around the farm, putting paint brushes and rollers to work, even on the famous herb garden bird!

This week apples are in full bloom, it is one of the most picturesque spring scenes. We are delighted to see the bees out doing their job and even more delighted that there haven’t been any frost or freeze events so far this spring.

You might have noticed an entire grape vineyard gone on the hill side just east of our market.  These were white Niagara grapes that we sold to Welch’s for juice. However, the demand for white grape juice is down and thus so is the market for these. So you will continue to see us taking out grapes as the year goes on. We think white grape juice is delicious, so if you know of anyone looking for a lot of  white grapes for a commercial product, please let us know.  We’d love to find some new customers and markets for these.

The first vineyard that is gone is going to be planted in sunflowers. We will be having our first sunflower festival in August and are in the planning stages now. We have lots of great ideas for this and are teaming up with ten other farms across the United States who are also in the planning stage to share best practices. More to come! Meanwhile, we have a great sunflower book for sale here at the market and sunflower seeds for little ones wanting to plant sunflowers. It even comes with a pull out measuring tape to keep track of how tall the sunflowers grow!

Everyone at Corey Lake Orchards thanks you for buying local!

Happenings on the Farm:

Our wonderful team here has worked tirelessly to get the market area ready for another season. This week weeds came out, flowers and herbs went in, grass got cut, trees got trimmed, the large backyard we share with our customers became full of comfortable chairs, tables, and play things. New items we are carrying came in and we’ll begin to feature those as the weeks go on. And we haven’t finished….but we’re getting there.

Cherry trees are now losing their blossoms and the petals in this cold has us remembering snow storms!Plums and peaches are just finishing bloom stage, and it is exciting to see blueberries, strawberries and apples beginning to bloom. Even more exciting was seeing the blossoms full of bees–busy doing their job of pollinating. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for a good fruit set this year.

Plant, plant, plant. The beautiful weather early in the week allowed us to continue on with planting. The summer-like weather lured Beth into planting tomatoes, peppers and squash, which usually wait until later in May. In your own gardens, follow at your own risk! Three plantings of sweet corn are now in and coming up along with two plantings of green beans.  Who’s ready for fresh green beans?

The enormous oak log that has been sitting in front of the market which has intrigued many of you has now taken its final shape in the process of becoming a bench with foot rests. The inspiration for this came from my winter trip to California. As soon as I saw this, I wanted one for our farm. My son Jay (who is in the tree business) found this log, brought it here (no small task!) and carved it yesterday for my Mother’s Day gift.  We’re still finishing it up, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I’m thinking he’s off the hook for Mother’s Day gifts for many years to come. (See pictures below of this endeavor.)

Everyone at Corey Lake Orchards thanks you for buying local and sends our best Mother’s Day wishes!

 

 

We’re opening for the 2018 season on Friday, May 4th with our normal daily hours of 8 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week, including holidays! Are we ready? We are in spirit, as we can’t wait to have our customers back. But…..you may find we don’t have everything quite together as the 3.5 inches of rain combined with a drain problem flooded our market and bakery building last night. We are all cleaned up and drying out.  So….if there is something you’re looking for that you don’t see–ask us, it may still be in the back!

The winter to summer weather has pushed everything along quickly. So if you are out this weekend, you will be able to enjoy cherry and peach blossoms! Simply breathtaking!

We have asparagus up, but due to the rain, we cannot get in to pick it. As soon as the field can dry out and we can get in, we will have it available. So please call before you drive out to see it we were able to pick. We are happy to take your order, just call us at 269-244-5690 and we will call you when we can fill it.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 13 this year!

• If you a on a quest for a unique gift for Mom, Grandma, Aunt, or other person who has nurtured you as a mother would, we are here to help. Looking for a gift from nature? Peruse the variety of pretty flower or herb arrangements already planted in fun containers (made by our own creative Teri and Terri) or lettuce bowls for a salad that continues to grow through the season or purchase bedding plants from flowers to herbs to veggies and create your own potted design.
  

  Teri and Terri are the best!

• Another gift idea is using our fresh produce. We can tie raffia to make an asparagus or rhubarb bouquet for your favorite cook. Organic greens, a favorite? How about a bag of lettuce, or spinach with a salad spinner to clean the greens in the easiest, most efficient way?  (If she doesn’t own a salad spinner, these are a must have. They really make it so much easier to get your greens clean.)
• Check out the ceramic work by Mollie whose whimsical bowls were in the market last season. She just delivered more stock which includes vases and single stem flowers for hanging that will serve as a lasting reminder of your thoughtfulness.
• If the smell of fresh baked goods is a favorite, consider the options from the bakery. Think muffins, donuts, dessert bars, pecan rolls, cinnamon rolls, pies, cookies, bread, and more. What could be more comforting than a basket of baked goods?
• For Mother’s Day (and for any day that you need a gift) Peggy is happy to help make a basket up for you, starting at $10 and adding in what you want. So whether you choose plants, market produce, baked goods, adult beverages, local honey, maple syrup, or spicy mustard or one of our select gift items, a basket can be the perfect present. We really enjoy working with you to share the gifts that celebrate the seasons of life. Call and talk to Peggy, or leave a message for her to call you back, and she will create just what you need in the price range you desire.
• We can also do gift certificates to allow them to pick out their own goodies. We can do these over the phone with a credit card or mail out for you, or have them waiting for the gift recipient to pick up here.

Happenings on the farm:  We’ll catch you up next week, just know it’s happening!  I am grateful for our employees and several contractors (Roberts Excavating and Mason Harvey Hersherger) who came to our rescue today with the flooding issue so we could open on time. Some employees mopped, cleaned and moved everything, while the bakery and market staff patiently worked around everything to continue opening day readiness! Huge thanks to Liv, Terri, Teri, Teresa, Adolfo, Amy, Michaela, Patti, and Peggy. (Becca would like to note that Beth deserves a huge share of the credit for getting us ready today as well. Thank you, Beth!)

Everyone at Corey Lake Orchards thanks you for buying local!  See you soon!

We’re in high gear now getting ready to open for the 2018 season on Friday, May 4th with our normal daily hours of 8 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week, including holidays!

One of the most frequently asked questions is when will we have asparagus? And the answer is:  It depends on the weather. The nights are unusually cool which is holding it back. If those forecasted days of 70 degrees come next week, we’ll know a lot more then and will give you an update.

Bedding plants: We will be stocking vegetables, flower annuals, and tomato plants as they are ready for planting. We have a few seed potatoes (Red Norland). So as you think about your garden needs, you can plan on getting your plants here. We hope to have most of our plants available on opening weekend. FYI: We will not have any onion sets this year to sell as we changed suppliers and varieties.

Straw: We have extra bales of straw available for your mulching needs. They are $6/bale or 4 bales for $20. If you need these before we officially open, just call us and we’ll set up a time to meet you. 269-244-5690.

We are currently harvesting lettuce, spinach, green onions, carrots, and kale in our certified organic hoophouse. You can pick any of that up at World Fare in downtown Three Rivers (the fridge is in the back) or you can call us to make an appointment to pick it up here. We harvest and restock the fridge every week!

The bakery will also open for the year on Friday, May 4th, and yes, they will be making donuts that day. (Reminder: we make our cake donuts on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.)  Feel free to place orders ahead for Mother’s Day, which is Sunday May 13th, by calling or emailing us: 269-244-5690 or coreylakeorchards@gmail.com

Happenings on the farm:

Clean, scrub, move, organize and repeat. The crew has been in high gear getting the market,  bakery and surrounding gardens and play areas ready for the year. Brooms, bleach bottles, rakes and even paint brushes were everywhere today!

We planted, planted, planted. Tuesday the crew got 32 rows of black plastic mulch in the field ready for our plantings of vegetables, tomatoes and melons, which you will see on the west side of AL Jones Road. Then we put 16 rows of sweet corn in before the rain hit that night. Wednesday we started at sunrise planting 25,000 onion sets. Tomorrow we will get all of our “cold crop”  brassica plants in, things like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kohlrabi and the like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The delayed spring has caused planting issues for the unheated organic hoophouse. So we have had to turn the cold storage into a “warm storage” where Becca has to move them in at night and back out during the days. We will all be happy to see a forecast with no more nights below freezing!

The greenhouse tomatoes are coming along great, maybe 25 days till the first BLT.

Everyone at Corey Lake Orchards thanks you for buying local and we are counting down the days until we see you!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!  Everyone at Corey Lake Orchards

Mother Nature has us using a new word – “Sprinter” – to describe this spring…which seems to be stuck in winter mode.  “Sprinter” has us going through a range of emotions–none of which we could find an emoji for! We’re pleased that the cold weather has held back bud development in all of the fruit, which will delay the bloom time when there should be reduced risk of damaging frosts. We are less pleased with the wet and cold soil delaying planting of vegetables and other field work. The official growing degree day charts which farmers use to judge when to plant and plant development has us at least one week to ten days later than what has been a normal Michigan spring. But we all know there really isn’t a normal anymore when it comes to Pure Michigan weather. So we’ll keep you posted as everything develops.

So, despite Mother Nature being confused, we’re moving forward and preparing to open for the 2018 season on Friday, May 4th with our normal daily hours of 8 am to 6 pm, 7 days a week, including holidays!

We typically have asparagus and rhubarb ready when we open, but check back with us as it will depend on the weather if they are ready in time. (Get used to hearing that phrase again!)

Bedding plants: We will be stocking vegetables, flower annuals, and tomato plants as they are ready for planting, along with seed potatoes and onion sets. So as you think about your garden needs, plan on getting your plants here. We hope to have most of our plants available on opening weekend.

Straw: We have extra bales of straw available for your mulching needs. They are $6/bale or 4 bales for $20. If you need these before we officially open, just call us and we’ll set up a time to meet you. 269-244-5690.

The bakery will also open for the year on Friday, May 4th, and yes, they will be making donuts that day. (Reminder: we make our cake donuts on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.) More to come on the offerings they will have for this opening weekend and what they are planning for Mother’s Day Weekend so that you can place your orders for Mother’s Day, which is Sunday May 13th.

Next week we will give you a line up of the other local and Michigan made products that we will be carrying again this year, along with some new ones. And some ideas on Mother’s Day gifts!

We are currently harvesting lettuce, spinach, green onions, carrots, and kale in our certified organic hoophouse. You can pick any of that up at World Fare in downtown Three Rivers (the fridge is in the back) or you can call us to make an appointment to pick it up here. We harvest and restock the fridge every week!

Becca has been locked away in the cidery for many hours this winter and spring and will be introducing some interesting new ciders when we open as well as we will have some of your favorites from last year, including: Brunch, Ginger, Hometown Hero, Currant/Cacao, Sweet, Semi-Sweet, and Dry ciders. We also have our full line of Hubbard’s Brandy.

Our cider is also available at The Local in Centreville, The Riviera in Three Rivers, Dussel’s Farm Market in Cassopolis, and Craft Beer Cellar in Grand Rapids. We will re-open our cider and brandy tastings on Memorial Day Weekend.

Happenings on the farm:

We got our potatoes planted on Friday before the rain hit. On hand to help us plant was our new employee, Austin, who comes to us with extensive experience from his own family’s potato farm. Austin will be primarily helping us with maintenance and IPM work (Integrated Pest management) this year, and probably will get pulled into just about everything else here with his desire to learn about the full cycle of fruit and vegetable production all the way to a customer’s plate. Welcome Austin!

If you drive by, you’ll see the straw has been spread on the strawberry fields, which serves as a weed mulch, keeps the berries cleaner by not having them touch the soil, and makes it much more comfortable for those who get right down on their hands and knees when they pick!

The asparagus field has gone through the spring preparation steps of being mowed down and lightly disked…..now just awaiting warm temperatures to get it to push through the soil.

The greenhouse tomatoes are coming along great!   As soon as they turn red, it’s BLT time!

We’re into spring pruning this week, finishing the blueberries, plums, cherries and pears, taking advantage of these extra days when we can’t be planting in the field.

The plans for the next few weeks are to prepare the fields and plant, plant, plant.

Once again we will be sharing more about the happenings here on the farm via Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, so find us there and enjoy the days along with us.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!  Everyone at Corey Lake Orchards
