Sanitizer

We have added a sanitizer to the equipment available in Facility Kitchens. This machine heats the water to 180 degrees for a 4 minute cycle to sanitize glass containers before filling with product. This speeds up production for a producer who needs to sanitize containers before filling.

Crazy Michigan Weather

In March, us Michiganders are used to snow and icy roads.  But the past several weeks have been just beautiful!  Grass is green, flowers are blooming and neighborhood kids outside riding their bikes. Summer came early!  But did it really?  This is Michigan and things could change over a weekend.  With this in mind, I think that I'm going to wait to start planting for my garden. What are you planting this year?

West Michigan Co-op

Beth and Janet went to the West Michigan Co-op's annual volunteer party held at Bella Vita in downtown GR Wednesday, March 7th.  S&S Lamb provided the main course of lamb, slow cooked and great.  Mud Creek Farms sent a beet and greens salad that perfectly complimented the lamb.  A winter meal of all West Michigan born, bred and raised food felt as healthy as it was tasty!  Thanks to the West Michigan Co-op for the party and the co-op's producers who sent the great food!
