Join us for the Great Garlic planting of 2024!

We’ll be gathered at our Growth Center, 709 Pine Ave., Holland from 9-12 this Saturday, November 9, to plant over 8,000 cloves of garlic. As per tradition, the planting will be followed by a hearty potluck (garlic theme dishes encouraged but not required). This is an open house event—come when you can, leave when you have to. It helps us out if you RSVP through the link in our bio, but if you find yourself with some time to spare on Saturday morning, we’d love to have you with or without a RSVP.

Hope to see you there!

We’ve crunched numbers and the grand total raise

We’ve crunched numbers and the grand total raised at Farm to Fork 2024 was...
  $10,462!  
We are absolutely floored by your support. We’ve been able to donate over $13,000 of produce so far this season because of funds raised at last years event (where we raised $8,000), and we are so encouraged and empowered by the number for this year. We believe that the most fresh, nutritious, and highest quality food should be the most accessible, and these funds supplement the cost of produce drops to Community Action House and St. Vincent de Paul’s Emergency Food Pantry, helping us distribute our fresh, nutritious, locally grown produce to our neighbors while sustaining on farm operations and staff.   Eighth Day exists to love the land and love the people, and the support we received at Farm to Fork is a picture of what we feel year round. We are so grateful for this community and all of the ways you show up for us: volunteering, donating, being a CSA member, serving on our board, working on a committee, and buying our produce makes it possible for us to care for land and people well. We are continually humbled by this work and the interconnectedness that we rely on to make it happen: we truly need one another to do good work, and we feel that deeply this time of the year.   To all of you that came out, volunteered, donated, ate, grooved, and imbibed at Farm to Fork, thank you. And to all of you that couldn’t make it, we missed you and we hope you’re able to come next year. It’s a good time, and you will leave with a full heart and belly. A very special thank you to the Kroll family, who has hosted us for the past 4 years. It gets bigger and better every year thanks to their heart, talent, and dedication to loving people well. Thank you, Terry and Jennifer Kroll! And huge shoutout to @joecanon_ for taking these incredible photos of the evening 💚

Farm to Fork is SOLD OUT, folks! But you can still get your raffle tickets at a discount online—5 for $35, or $10 each at the event. Spend a $100, get an Eighth Day tee.

We love good food, and these local businesses serve to enhance and compliment the local, fresh bounty that we’re privileged to have access to in Holland.
@fustinisholland has supported us for over 5 years now, never batting an eye to bring flavor and goodness into our raffle. We know that good oil makes a difference, and their tasting room delivers. Their staff are helpful and patient, and we’re so grateful to have a shop like theirs in Holland. Thank you, @fustinisholland!

@naturesmarketholland is a family owned business with a wealth of local, natural food and a deep love for sustainability. They are committed to promoting the local economy and have such amazing and knowledgeable staff! Thank you @naturesmarketholland for donating gift cards to our raffle!

The perfect compliment to a late summer evening, @overhiserorchards has donated their mouth-watering cider for Farm to Fork this year. Their beautiful orchard north of South Haven is well worth the drive. For over 160 years, 6 generations of the Overhiser family have been caring for the land, producing blueberries, cherries, peaches, apricots, plums, pears, pumpkins, and of course, crisp apples, available for U-Pick and in their cute farm store. Open through October and sometimes a bit beyond, stop in for a visit, and please say hi to their very vocal goats for me!
