We got one half bushel of purple plums. The exact kind I use for “Plum Crazy”. Some of you already know how yummy it is and have been waiting for it. We have some samples if you really need to taste it. 🍒

This is our first batch of apple butter. Made with Pioneer Sugar from Michigan Sugar Company. We will make more when the Jamdude starts picking more apples. It’s really good!🍒

OK fans, who thinks they know what I’m making today? It should be ready by Thursday. Lois🍒

It is Red Onion Marmalade, made with red onions, dried cranberries, orange zest, cider vinegar and some brown sugar among other things. Great on toast, roast beef, cream cheese and more.

Lincoln has more duties than just being a greeter, he is very capable. He loves watching the birds that come to the feeders, but today he saw a chipmunk. He does not like Mr Chipmunk. He is a miniature schnauzer! Mice and rodents are supposed to be very afraid of Lincoln! This one would have stuck his tongue out but his cheeks were so full of sunflower seeds he was unable to totally humiliate Lincoln! Till next time Mr Chipmunk, next time! 🍒🐾

We are working on our next batch of Strawberries from Ron Alvesteffer’s Farm. So excited to get these beautiful strawberries. So with help from everyone we got 24 flats done. Only 26 more to go. We need enough for the Strawberry, Strawberry Rhubarb, Strawberry Margarita, Strawberry Peach and Bumbleberry (strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and blueberries). Come by for samples! Lois🍒

We are starting with 12 flats of strawberries today. But we ordered 50. It’s. Good thing I’m wearing gloves or my hands would be entirely red!🍒

The Ludington Sourdough is yummy. I tried a loaf and one of Trail's End Baking Company’s chocolate croissants. I keep coming back! Lois🍒

These are the hours of the Ludington Farmers Market! There are so many wonderful vendors there. One of my favorites is The Vintage Tub LLC soaps & more. Yes, we sell her soap in The Jam Farm, but if you’re downtown please check it out! Lois🍒

We're just a week away. Ludington Farmers Market starts next Friday ( May 24th ) from 2-7, Legacy Plaza - at Ludington & James, under the pavillion.

The Jamdude is busy picking rhubarb today. We sell it to several places so their customers will get the freshest rhubarb you’ve ever tasted! We use it in our Rhubarb Jam, Strawberry Rhubarb Jam and Cherry Rhubarb Jam. Shop local. Lois🍒

Just a reminder the Badger is ready to go earlier than expected! It’s a wonderful ride.🍒

The S.S. Badger: Lake Michigan Carferry 2024 schedule will soon be underway with crossings starting earlier than expected. Departures will begin on May 17 rather than June 14 as previously stated.

The maiden cruise follows months of structural repairs and improvement to the ramping system at the Ludington home port. Last summer, an integral component of the ramping system failed, causing an abrupt end to the Badger’s 70th season.

The Badger’s first sailing on May 17 signals the start of the summer season, and her daily crossings offer riders a unique and memorable four-hour journey across the 60-mile shortcut passage on Lake Michigan. Experience breathtaking Lake Michigan views and the many amenities onboard the ship.
