Feeding Our Community
Where does all the food we grow go?
-
CSA (Community Support Agriculture) subscriptions are purchased before the growing season begins. Why? Because these sales help our growing team prepare for the season. When the season comes all you need to do is pick up the CSA box and enjoy.
Our CSA Subscription Box runs from June - October and features 5-7 different produce types weekly. We accept Snap/EBT as payment.
-
Join us on Ishpeming’s West End to shop fresh produce grown right at the Partridge Creek Intergenerational Farm. A variety of produce will be sold throughout the growing season.
We accept card, cash, Snap/EBT and Food as Medicine Vouchers as payment.
2024 Opening Day, June 26th, 4:30pm-6pm
Open Wednesdays during the growing season

Partridge Creek Farm believes in providing our community with fresh locally grown produce, which is why we work with local businesses primarily located on the West End of Marquette County.
A few of these businesses include: Velodrome, Strega Nonna, and Kognisjon Brewery.
