Description

Osma Acres Farm
Osma Acres Farm now provides two types of membership options: Option 1. Full Share with no labor commitment.. Option 2: Half Share with no labor commitment. Members may volunteer for labor at the farm. Each farm labor hour earns Five dollars ($5) in produce for all contract options., this is roughly equivalent to $8+ worth of produce at retail prices. Membership fees are applied as prepayments for produce to be purchased by the member during harvest season. The farm grows a variety of vegetables. Members provide the farm with a list of their produce preferences prior to planting season. Members select their produce purchases from a list of available items each week during harvest season. Value of all produce is based on Local Retail Grocers prices less 15%.. The farm offers an opportunity to participate in the planting, tending, harvesting and consuming of farm fresh produce. Each member selects the level of farm participation and produce quantity desired.

Our farm grows vegetables, raspberries and gourds for crafts. Our growing season is short due to our location very near to Lake Superior. Dried Gourds, Crafted Gourds, Gourd Seeds and farm crafts are available year round to the general public. We are a member of The American Gourd Society. Our Crafted Gourds include Bird Houses, Bird Feeders and Watering Stations, Baskets, Bowls, Dippers and Ornaments. All our Bird Houses are prepared for outside use; they are varnished, coated with polyurethane and have drainage holes drilled in the bottoms. They are ready for hanging. They should last for several years when cleaned each fall and stored inside each winter. The size, gourd type and pattern are consistent for each birdhouse displayed in our Web store listing.
