About the M-88 Detour... M-88 is being worked on near Ellsworth Road, just before you enter the village of Central Lake. If you are coming from US 31, East Torch Lake Drive, or the West side of Ellsworth Road... You can come straight here, no interruptions. IF you are coming from the east side of Ellsworth Road (like the village of Central Lake or Bellaire), you can use GPS to bypass it with back roads or just take Old State, to East Torch Lake drive, to M-88, then turn east (right). We're right up the hill! Providence Organic Farm, Market, Cafe & Natural Food Store is open 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM, every day but Sunday! We harvest certified organic fruits and veggies 6 days a week, constantly filling our market with goodness. Our cafe serves literal "farm-to-table" food, fresh pastries and organic coffee drinks for dine-in or "togo". 😊 - Have a great day! Farmers Andrea & Ryan #torchlake #bellairemichigan #elkrapidsmichigan #charlevoixmichigan #traversecitymichigan

Recipe of the day? I made this roasted beet salad for dinner. So vibrant, good and easy! Bonus? It made for a delicious cold salad the next day too! - Andrea (Baking Dish in photo is by our potter, Barry Braun from Swallowtail Pottery, and you can find all of these ingredients at our farm market, open 8 to 6 every day but Sunday.) You’ll need: - 2 bunches heart-healthy beets - 1 Tb Fustini’s olive oil - 2 sweet white or yellow onions - sea salt & fave seasonings - fresh squeezed lemon juice (I used one very juicy lemon) - one bunch parsley, chopped fine - 1-2 garlic cloves, pressed - soft goat cheese Instructions: - Set oven to 425 F - Grab 2 bunches beets, separate greens (store in plastic in fridge to sauté later) - wash, dry, trim beet ends, then cut into similar bite-sized chunks - Grab two white or yellow sweet onions, and chunk into eight pieces each. - Toss beets and onions w/ olive oil, sea salt, and your favorite seasonings (I used Himalayan pink sea salt & organic Berbere seasoning from Frontier) - Spread it all out evenly on a 11 x 15 roasting sheet. (parchment paper would be nice here to avoid a sticky mess.) - Roast until beets can be easily pierced with a fork - Remove from oven, toss in fresh lemon juice, pressed fresh garlic, and minced parsley - Serve w/ soft goat cheese! #torchlake #charlevoixmichigan #bellairemichigan #elkrapidsmichigan

🌼Please READ - Hello Farm Friends and Local Folks! 2 things we really want you to know. 🌸FIRST: We have a sweet, steady and flexible job available starting as soon as next week. It may be perfect for you, or someone you know! The job itself is to intake, wash & package these gorgeous, vibrant vegetables for orders. You may find yourself washing carrots, for example, and weighing and bagging just washed 7 spun-dry lettuce mix, getting beets into big totes for the farmers' market, and/or prepping items for our CSA packagers to fill boxes with. You may be logging the amount of pounds of veggies items that just came in. You may be labeling items. You may be greeting the food pantry driver and and helping them load donated items into their van. You are inside, warm, wearing comfy clothes that you don't mind getting a little dirty, working with absolutely beautiful vegetables, and a small group of friendly fellow staff. We are looking for a team player/ good communicator, who is friendly, organized, efficient, and has an eye-for-detail. The job days are weekly, Monday through Thursday. Hours are flexible, and usually between 25 - 32 hours a week, but usually start at or just before 9:00 AM and end around 2:30/ 3:00. (If you're a parent that has to bring kids to school in the am and pick them up in the afternoon, we imagine that this may be a good fit, time wise.). We can train the right individual.
