Okay bad news first. Ready? Our hoop house plastic got ripped to shreds by the wind… twice. It was indeed a moment of despair to see a 72-ft long piece of metal conduit flapping fifty feet up in the air. Thankfully no people or plants were damaged in the process and we finally managed to secure a new covering.
The good news is that our internship program has begun! Meet Monica, Madison, Chelsey, and Karey (not pictured). Aside from having the extra help on the farm, our internship gives life to our peak-growing season as we explore what it means to be good stewards of the land together. In fact, a sizeable portion of past interns have continued in their agricultural endeavors after their time at Eighth Day.
More good news is that CSA pick-ups are starting soon!The date for our first pick-up is only getting closer! Remember, Tuesday pick-ups start on June 5, 3:30-6:00pm at the Holland Town Center and Saturday pick-ups start June 9, anytime before 11am at the Holland Farmer’s Market.
Farm to Fork: 
We’re also busy making preparations for our Farm to Fork event on July 18. If you haven’t been there before, it’s an evening of good food, people, drinks, and music. We’ll also have activities set up for kids! Mark your calendars, keep an ear out for more updates, and prepare your palate for some tasty eatables.
Come See us at the Market! We will begin our journey with the Holland Farmer’s Market on June 9. We would love to have you come support us by saying hello and telling us how much you love our produce.
