Excited to be starting a new collaborative relationship with Heidi Southard & Caring Cupboard in Bridgman! Between Caring Cupboard, River Valley Senior Center (2nd photo) & Monday’s mobile food pantry in New Troy, we donated another 160+ lbs of #HFFF & @granorfarm produce to people in need this week.

Another great @feedingwestmich #mobilefoodpantry in #NewTroyMI yesterday. 46 households representing 169 individuals were served - our biggest turnout in New Troy yet. Big thanks to @friendsofnewtroy for hosting and Episcopal Church of the Mediator in Harbert for sponsoring!

The volunteers at Anointed Impact Ministry in Benton Harbor know how to have fun while packing produce bags for their food pantry! We also filled a fridge for First Church of God’s Community Food Network meeting yesterday in Benton Heights. All told, we donated over 160 lbs of delicious and nutritious #organic produce from our farm and @granorfarm to underserved communities this week.

#HFFF sponsored yesterday’s @feedingwestmich #mobilefoodpantry in Galien & added some of our own produce, including some early blueberry & raspberry harvests, to the potatoes, apples, beans, milk & other staples the Feeding America truck brought in. We served over 80 households representing more than 230 individuals - the biggest mobile food pantry turnout we’ve had yet!

Mobile Food Pantry today at 4 in Galien! We’ve been promoting it on Facebook but neglected to do so here - summertime madness! Details:

There will be a @feedingwestmich Mobile Food Pantry at the Galien Township Fire Station (305 Kiley Drive, in the Industrial Park) on Monday, July 15 from 4 to 5:30 PM.
It is being sponsored by the Harris Family Farm Foundation, and the Galien & Olive Branch UM Churches are hosting it.
The Mobile Food Pantry will include a large Feeding America truck filled with food staples in addition to locally and organically grown produce from Harris Family Farm & other nearby farms.
Galien & former Galien School residents will be served first and then the pantry will open to all others. Please bring bags and boxes to carry your food.

We are an Equal Opportunity Provider.

We were really feeling the spirit of ‘76 yesterday when we delivered 76 lbs of #HFFF produce, along with 47 lbs of @granorfarm goodness, to food pantries in Three Oaks, Harbert, & Benton Harbor. Wishing you a happy & healthy 4th!

Help wanted - scratch that - needed! We’re losing our farmhand Alex to the big city next week & are urgently looking for reliable help so we can keep our donation & education programming on track as we enter into full-on summer mode! Volunteers are always welcomed with open arms, so please get in touch if you’re interested, but we are also hiring. Ideally we’d like to bring on one person with at least some gardening experience at 30-35 hrs/wk, but we are flexible. Starts at $14-16/hr, depending on experience, & goes through October/mid-November (depending on weather), with lots of potential for growth beyond this growing season for the right fit. Main tasks are centered around seeding, transplanting, harvesting, processing & caring for a wide range of fruit & vegetable crops (some heavy lifting involved, & lots of bending, kneeling & crouching), but there will also be opportunities to participate in our education & community outreach/coordination work as well. If you are interested or know somebody who is, you can contact us directly here, or email Billy at billy@harrisfamilyfarmfoundation.org. Thanks!

It’s a #lettuce bonanza these days! More salad makings from #HFFF & @granorfarm went to Meals On Wheels today. Such a pleasure to work with Linda Strohl & the MOW crew for our 3rd year!

Our biggest single donation of the year disappeared in a flash! 30 lbs of beautiful #naturallygrown radishes from @lotusflowerfarm, 42 lbs of delicious #organic lettuce & kale from @granorfarm, & about 65 lbs of #sustainablygrown goodness (including our 1st turnip and garlic scape harvest!) from #HFFF went towards some truly healthy appetites at Anointed Impact Ministry in Benton Harbor today.

The veggie garden is #prettyinpurple right now, with gorgeous #orach (a heat-tolerant spinach alternative) and some very happy #purplepotato flowers blossoming!
