#HFFF is hiring! Farmer Lindsay here started the growing season as a stellar volunteer last April. She was so stellar, in fact, that it wasn’t long before we offered her a job as a part-time farmhand! Our ever-expanding growing capacity & programming means that we’re looking for more part-time help for the rest of the season, with potential for permanent, full-time employment down the road. Please send us a private message for more info! #farmjob

August arrivals! #beefsteaktomatoes #picklingcucumbers #HFFF #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

1st big #carrot harvest, including the lovebirds in photo #2, bound for the First Church of God’s Community Food Network in Benton Heights tomorrow! #HFFF #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Have you ever heard of #orach? This is what it looks like. Isn’t it pretty? It’s a heat tolerant alternative to spinach for these dog days of summer. So excited to give it a try and share our thoughts about how best to prepare it with people! #HFFF #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Final day of #schoolgardening with grade schoolers in #rivervalleyschool summer program was jam packed with discovering, harvesting & tasting, so I only managed to get this photo of searching for baby beans emerging from bean flowers. But boy was it fun. Blown away by how many young tomato lovers we had! Oh, & today saw our 1st harvest of #jalapenos (2nd photo), which accompanied lbs & lbs of #HFFF & @granorfarm produce (including peaches!) to #rivervalleyseniorcenter & Harbor Country Emergency Food Pantry. #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Some more #HFFF firsts! #Peaches and zukes, plus some Siamese twin #zucchini we’ve never seen before. #weirdveggies #weirdisgood #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Our first #HFFF-sponsored #MobileFoodPantry in #GalienMichigan was a great success! In addition to a big crew of wonderful volunteers from the community, the whole Harris clan was there to help set up and tell people about the veggies we were giving away. Yesterday also saw the debut of our veggie info cards, which feature key nutrition facts & a simple recipe for each crop we grow and donate (2nd photo). They were accompanied by @granorfarm recipe cards developed by their amazing #farmdinner chef @abraberens! #volunteersrock #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Look at these cuties. Good old friends volunteering at Redbud Area Ministries food pantry yesterday and inspecting the #HFFF and @granorfarm produce we brought. The spreads just keep getting bigger, and that goes for the one we’re harvesting for today’s #mobilefoodpantry in #GalienMichigan as well! #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Another #onion harvest yesterday, which accompanied a ton of greens we delivered to St. Mary’s food pantry in #NilesMichigan (2nd photo). Another big #fooddonation to #BuchananMichigan planned for today, and still plenty at the farm to harvest for our 1st #mobilefoodpantry in #GalienMichigan tomorrow! #abundance #HFFF #nevertoolatetodonate #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Did you know that we accept surplus produce not just from local farms, but also from local gardens? Emily MacDonald drove over this morning to bring some extra green beans and chard from her garden; they’ll be included in donations we make this week. Please direct message us if you’d like for your garden extras to be included in our produce donations to food pantries and other organizations! #HFFF #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

Help spread the word! #HFFF is organizing a @feedingwestmich #MobileFoodPantry in Galien this Thursday, August 2. We’ll have a Feeding America truck full of food, along with fresh produce from our farm and @granorfarm, set up at the Community of Christ Church (110 S Cleveland Rd) from 2 to 4pm. Galien is a town in our region that has experienced a number of challenges in recent years, and has received less help than many other local municipalities, so we’re excited to do our small part to start changing that by bringing healthy food (like the deliciousness pictured above that we delivered last week to River Valley Senior Center, including some Granor lemon cucumbers, which blew some minds!) directly to the community. #fooddonation #nevertoolatetodonate #nevertoolatetogarden #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving

It’s been so much fun teaching summer schoolers over the last few weeks about gardening and #HealthyEating alongside some amazing volunteers and teachers. Excited to continue our relationship with River Valley School District into the Fall and beyond! #schoolgardening #learnasyougrow #HFFF #nevertoolatetogarden #nevertooearlytostart #harborcountry #swmichigan #puremichigan #eatlocal #organicgardening #healthyliving
