A kale contract with a Midwest juicing company based in Berkley, MI.  The farm also services 2 large high end grocery stores.  The farm has sales that have grown substantially over the past 5 years, with a lot of room to grow.

          The pole barn is 48’x30’ and houses a 12’x9’ walk in cooler.

 

          A brand new well was dug in 2020 and is plenty to service all fields with drip irrigation.
