Mom's Farm, Inc.

Last year near the end was pretty busy for us, which caused us to cut back on posting. We are back around this year with new plans:

• We will be shrinking the timeframe and pickup location for our CSA’s. Last year our CSA customers picked up at the farmer’s markets, which made it difficult for us to change to more productive markets. This year we will have pickup at our home in Joliet and a shorter CSA share period from May 14th through July 2nd for a total of 8 weeks. It will consist of spring crops only. More details are available on our CSA page.
• We will be going to more markets in the spring, but we will be closing for the year earlier. With 2 little ones and the heat of the summer, we feel it is wise to end the July 4th weekend. We are currently investigating the following markets: New Lenox, Homer Glen, Naperville, Tinley Park, and Kankakee. If there is a market that you would like to see us at, let us know.
• With the change of the period we will be at market, we will be growing the following: Lettuce, Broccoli Raab, Broccoli, Radishes, Beets, Carrots, Onions, Spinach, Endive, Kohlrabi, Cabbage, Zucchini, Cucumbers, Alfalfa and Mung Bean Sprouts, Corn, Garlic, and Herbs.
• We are including pincushions into our product line. Check out our store on Etsy to see what is available.

We are still farming a half acre in Lockport as well as at our home in Joliet. The plants have already been started inside and we are planting more today.
