The bike cam catches a rolling countryside along
Fruit Ridge Road,

We’ve been updating this
amazing bike flag, hand-made by Kim Demick, with our stops – 13
farms and counting!

- Biking and farming posers outstanding in the field and Groundswell
Community Farm.

- Katie Brant and Michelle wash the harvest at Groundswell.

- Ring the dinner bell! Marty and Anna with
a delicious chard pie.

- Mud Lake Farm grows lettuce hydroponically in
this “floating
bed” system.

- This new planting of hardy kiwis at Mud Lake
farm will eventually grow up and over the elaborate trellising
system. Grand Rapids
area eaters, take note: in 5-6 years there will be local, organic
kiwis on the market!

- Darcy get your gun! Trillium Haven Farm intern, Darcy, in
her winning pose for the Sigourney Weaver look-alike contest. What
was the gun for anyway?

- Wet and mucky, Scooter and Marty return to the fields at Trillium
Haven.

- Long lost brothers Marty and Michael work the
Trillium Haven stand at Fulton Street Farmers’ Market. We’re
not really brothers,
but everyone seemed to think so!
