Seeds & Spores Family Farm

Seeds & Spores Family Farm Seeds & Spores Family Farm is a diversified farm located south of Marquette on the banks of the Chocolay River. We strive to create an integrated farm organism.

Seeds and Spores is a diverse family farm located 12 miles south of Marquette on the banks of the Chocolay River. Our main focus is growing 6 acres of mixed vegetables. We pasture raise heritage breed hogs and laying hens, and exclusively grass feed cattle. In addition, we grow medicinal plants and shiitake mushrooms. A selection of seasonal products are made in our certified kitchen. All of our p

roduce and livestock are raised using only natural and authentic farming techniques. We are building a living, mineralized soil to grow healthy plants to nourish healthy people by adding minerals and micronutrients, Bio-Dynamic Preparations, kelp, and compost to our soil. Pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or growth hormones are never used on our farm. We grow food for our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) members, the Marquette Food Co-op, the Lakeshore Depot, and local restaurants. We also sell our products at the Downtown Marquette Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings from May to December and at the Wednesday Night Market from mid June to mid September. All farm products are available for direct sales through our online Farmazon store @ seedsandsporesfarmazon.com. This is our 25th year farming in the area, and we are inspired by the communities’ positive response to and support of our endeavors. We are committed to provide quality local food to help sustain our community and environment.

Hello Local Food Lovers~

We will be delivering to town on TUESDAY instead of Wednesday this week. This includes the last CSA share of the season and Farmazon orders, as well as our drops to the Marquette Food Co-op and Lakeshore Depot. It would be so helpful to receive Farmazon orders by 10am Monday. We do have beef back in stock!

Here are a few words on Gratitude. Actually, this is a shortened version of a potentially very long newsletter. First of all, thank you to our CSA members for eating through another season! Those finishing up the winter CSA this week will have received 24 weeks of farm fresh produce. It was a great growing year, so the shares were voluptuous. We hope that you all feel nourished!

We had an amazing potato harvest this year, and we are grateful that 2500 pounds of our potatoes are heading to the food pantries in Marquette, Gwinn, and Ishpeming. Thanks to UPCAP for providing the funding to make this happen. We are happy to think of the recipients enjoying our delicious potatoes. This week's photo shows Chris, Cole, and Taylor sorting and bagging spuds for the pantries.

Speaking of the crew, WOW! What an amazing group of people working together to keep such nutritious, quality produce heading into our community. We know that organic farming sounds dreamy, but it is a lot of hard work and hustle. Endless thanks, especially to the core crew still showing up at the end of November.

I received a story from a customer who had been out of town for several weeks and had to buy produce at a regular grocery store. Upon his return, he placed an order. His description of the experience of seeing, smelling, touching, and tasting the fresh produce flowed out of his mouth like poetry. Receiving his gratitude was heartwarming.

And, to top it off, I am glowing with gratitude for the opportunity to eat a meal prepared by a world class chef who is grateful to use our ingredients.

I hope gratitude circles around you this season of sharing meals.
