It's SEEDING TIME!

This week kicks off our main weeks and months of seeding.

For the next 15 weeks, we will seed an absolutely preposterous quantity and diversity of seeds.

We seed seeds that are almost too small to see with the naked eye all the way up to seeds that barely fit in the plug tray.

From strawberries to milkweed, we start it all from seed.
And we do it all by hand!

Honestly, it's hard to overstate just what a production our seeding scheme is.

Farmer Brian JUST finished ordering all of the seeds of the Plant Sale, and whew!

We've ordered millions of seeds from almost 20 different seed companies to achieve what will be our MOST DIVERSE selection of Plant Sale plants in Bear Creek history!

We are adding 97 NEW varieties to the Plant Sale this Spring!

NINETY-SEVEN!!

Have we lost our minds?!
Maybe!

But we don't operate the largest organic Plant Sale in the state of Michigan for nothing!

And if we're going to go big, then we're going all out!

The act of seeding provides hope.
It nourishes our desire to grow things.
And it's so full of excitement and anticipation!

The first rounds of seeding are slow-going. And particularly tedious.
But seeing those blank trays of soil fill out with green is a sensation we'll never get tired of!

Fear not friends, Spring is on it's way and we are gearing up for it!

It was a great start to the day, enjoying a hot breakfast, before another cold day in northern Michigan servicing our wonderful customers.

We were honored to celebrate the retirement of Tom VanStedum our Energy Services Manager. Tom is in his 44th year with CO-OP and is moving on to his next chapter. We wish him all the best with this transition.

Oh and by the way, today we wish him a Happy Birthday! We hope you do the same if you see him out and about.
