Green Gardens Welcomes You!
Started in 2008, Green Gardens is a diversified, 23-acre farm in Battle Creek, Michigan, producing vegetables, herbs, and flowers on 3.5 acres. The farm's mission is to provide fresh, naturally-grown produce to the people of West Michigan at a fair price.
The farm uses organic farming practices and the produce is sold locally in Battle Creek and Kalamazoo through a CSA, Kalamazoo Farmers Market, and restaurants.
A strong America needs to be fueled by a healthy diet of nutrient-dense vegetables. The conequences of a highly processed and delocalized diet: obesity, diabetes, heart disease, increased carbon emissions, and greater dependence on Mid-East oil. There's a real opportunity for corrective action that tastes really good! We hope that you will be courageous, adventurous, and wise by leaving the Big Box produce and fast foods behind and tasting some veggies from Green Gardens!
In 2011, the farm will sell at…
- *Kalamazoo Farmers' Market on Bank Street on SAT (7:00 AM-12:00 PM)
- *Kalamazoo Foods Market (corner of Crosstown and Burdick) on SAT (every other) starting November 26
