Half Barn Farm Locally Grown, Nutritious Produce, Herbs, Flowers and Plant Starts for the Lansing area

A local farm consisting of land in Lansing on the 600 block of South Clemens and also a rural location on Toles Road between Eaton Rapids and Mason. I want to help nourish a vibrant healthy community and local food system while being a good steward of the land for those that follow me.

I’ve been getting some help from a friend, and we’ve been making slow progress on getting some winter crops planted and cleaning up the space. The season is ending and winter is closing in, though, with lots of projects still needing done before the weather makes them impossible. Ideally, I’d like to get to a point where we’d have 10 or more people involved weekly that want to grow food together and show up consistently. I’d love to be able to teach and then delegate tasks. At least a few people should be part of the planning and knowing what’s going on(maybe be a task leader), to push things forward besides myself. I know, it’s a lot to hope for. But maybe. Is anyone out there tired enough yet, of the food safety recalls and diarrhea lettuce, to regularly participate in growing healthy local food together to share?

Who needs a kitten? We already found another one from this litter that was neglected with both eyes crusted shut. That adorable little one was surrendered to the small animal clinic at MSU. Luckily, the vet there absolutely loved it and ended up adopting the little one. Today I found a litter mate, crying alone on the south end of the high tunnel. It came running over to me immediately, but I don’t know where the mama went. Unfortunately, she’s really not a very good mom, and isn’t tending to them as much as she should. This one had one eye crusted over before I was able to get it somewhat drained and the eyelids separated. Please spay or neuter your neighborhood feral and friendly outdoor cats. Otherwise, feeding them just grows populations that spread sickness due to lack of any medical intervention or preventative care.

Most of the plants I was making available have had their leaves eaten off by the woodchuck and or the deer with only a few things still having leaves. I’ll leave some garlic out for those people who wanna buy it or take it or do whatever. I’d give anything to have any teammate.

We’re planting more fruit shrubs at the farm site. If you have any extra chicken wire left over from projects or that you’re not gonna use, please drop it by the farm. Ideally, any pieces would be at least 3 to 4 feet long to be able to go around a small tomato cage. The deer pressure has been pretty bad this year, and there’s regularly about five deer coming through. Eventually, we are looking to fence off sections to keep them out, but to get these plants established in the mean time, we’re going to cage them off. Thanks

If any of my regulars need any garlic, I put out some individual bulbs and a few sweet peppers and a few 4 pound bags of potatoes for $8. There is also some seed garlic in 2 pound bags for $20. Please leave lots of money via Venmo or cashapp so I can retire to a private island. 🏝️ Haha, just kidding. I know I’ll never know actual retirement.

It’s a great day to get outside and look for some fruiting bodies…get outside and see some little living things in person. You’ll be glad you did!

This clouded sulfur says hi! Have you taken the time to get acquainted with a new pollinator lately? The season is winding down, so what are you waiting for? Get outside and look at some little living things. Find some goldenrod, some late boneset, Joe pye, or any of the asters, and you’ll see some of the real workers of the world that make the ecosystem function.
