As you guys expand, if you're ever hiring- I'm interested! Currently working on a degree in Environmental Plant Sciences @ MSU and would love to work locally. Good luck!

Thanks, guys! We went out to Stella and drove the backroads (thanks for that tip, @frostyphotog131!) and saw around 13 bald eagles!

Liberation Tattoo with Jerika and Marshall is great! They both focus on traditional style tattoos and do really wonderful work.

nicotine is not worth that trip lmfao

I have insurance. Whatever your copay for a specialist is. I’d call and ask about payment if you are self pay. It took me about 3 weeks to get in. I was one of the first patients when they formed this clinic. I see them monthly for med refills and a monthly appt with my therapist. Things are going to vary based on how many patients they have and how many providers, etc. call them.

Noted, thank you!! I personally like roasted romaine halves with olive oil and parmesan cheese, but I am super interested in these new green and red butterheads and the Cherokee Summercrisps.

YESSSS....No romaine (BOR-ING!!) but bring on the more exotic lettuces.

You're most welcome and we certainly appreciate the support! It will be a journey with lots of work, but we are excited to be on it!!

I’m looking for someone too.

Thank you. Excited to have this resource.

Please try again, I apparently didn't have it published. I think it's fixed now.

what was the cost? Time frame?

Link does not work

6-8 items sounds good for a small! And the link you inserted isn’t working. But I would be happy to sign up for it.

WAIT other people called them ding ding man???? LOL

“Ding ding man” as I used to call them. Smell of gasoline. Best .50 soda a child could buy.

That's horrible. They tried to get me to agree to work that didn't need to be done (replacing a crown that was completely fine)

The EBT situation is really the big push for us doing this. We went through a period of homelessness for a full 7 months 5 years ago. (FEMA flood back in Howell County took out our rental house) and I came up to Springfield looking for work living in the van we had at the time. Fast forward 5 years and we now own a home, 2 vehicles all paid off and are just getting the credit cards done with. So our main drive for the farm is to provide a better staple of local food that's more affordable, especially for those on EBT/SNAP because we have totally been there! (Plus be better in quality than that of Aldi's for example.)

Ok, so no bunbun burgers, got it! XD

We are still working on the website at this time (we expect it to be done fully in a couple months), but even though we are on Facebook we do have a newsletter available here >> https://mailchi.mp/8bdfaa74892e/get-the-free-newsletter

Urban Roots does a fantastic job for sure! -- We would have an online form that would have the option to omit certain produce and replace it with a seasonally available alternative. We don't want to be dishing out onions to folks who are allergic to onions, for example! Ours will be like a share model, but outfitted to be more adjustable. What we do not sell in the produce boxes, such as excesses, can be sold at the markets. If anything doesn't sell and is still good for human consumption we will be donating those to a non-profit that helps people in food crisis. Whatever may end up in waste, will go back into the farm as compost or animal feed. We are 100% against food waste!

Thank you for that! Yes, duck eggs should be more of a staple in our opinion. My son who can't eat chicken eggs, for instance, can eat duck eggs because of how the protein is a bit different to not flare the allergy and they make a fantastic binder for pastries & loaves of homemade bread!

Would you be more interested in the variety of baby green & mesculin mixes or maybe some with a blend of tasty young sprouts?

That's great to hear.

Yes, we will be joining the double-up for the farmstand produce. Our family has had to be in the EBT/SNAP program before and so we know how it works (with 3 growing kids no less!) and how challenging it can be to put healthy food on the table with very little they give, which is why we would like to have it as an option for those needing it. Also, with EBT/SNAP unless purchased online, we can only accept the payment at the time of pickup, which can be arranged at the farmstand or the farmers market to help reduce that extra cost as well.

Oh good, here comes the weekly question about getting some ink
