September's Herbs and Produce
About
Located in Montague, Michigan, this community-oriented grower has dedicated itself to supplying the greater Montague area with seasonal produce, herbs, and flowers. Specializing in unique, mostly heirloom and old-fashioned varieties, they prioritize taste and flavor over storage and shipping capabilities. This commitment stems from a belief in the importance of agricultural history and heritage.
Their growing methods are straightforward and exclude the use of synthetic chemicals, without exception. They adopt a holistic approach to farming, recognizing their role within the broader environment and striving to minimize disruption. This includes fostering a diverse ecosystem that supports not only birds and bugs but also bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa. Certified by the Partner's for Sustainable Pollination as a Bee Friendly Grower, they are also proud members of the Michigan Organic Food and Farm Alliance.
They have observed a shift in how people view their food and believe that communities should have a choice in where their food comes from.
