non GMO heirloom produce farm start up - Michigan

We'll have a stand soon at the house....as soon as we can find time. Numbers still a no match...oh how I was hoping the full time job + commute+ garden +farm is a long long week with little sleep. Still trying to figure out how to pay the farm off and let us stay there and WORK it...properly.

Still haven't found 50,000 people to donate $3-4 each though so here I am back at my office desk today :p :p


 check out the website, sent me an order...and share, share http://katehagerartist.com

farmers market Saturday, patio stones and lotions available

lotions/ body butters and soaps can ship...as can most the art work - hand painted sign work and more
http://katehagerartist.com


Help us reach our goal of only working one full time job each...the farm - instead of both working full time outside the farm...to pay for the farm, then working full time at the farm. The produce, art, signs and antique restoration (when we get time we are going to start doing that) need more than the hours left in a day and need dedication and care to grow. We however like many others...need to be able to pay the mortgage and insurances, utilities, etc and the farm doesn't do that...catch 22

market season is here, plants are in and growing, art, goat milk soap and more

Thought I'd drop a post and remind y'all we have some produce...most is still growing, it's June...and Michigan lol, but the hand painted patio stones, goat milk soap, hand made lotions and body butters, and soon pies and cookies at the Carson City market will be added (we don't want to step on any toes in Portland and love our baker lady there)
Hand Painted direct from artist signs made to order!! and yes I can ship them!! http://katehagerartist.com
your pet on a stone...or an animal, scene, name stones - all make great presents - these are heavy to ship so local pick up...but you can have it done on wood!!! and be shipped!

charcoals go with any decor and I have several ready to ship, some originals some high quality prints

changed the name #art #heirlooms #signs

I decided with me talking about all the aspects of work, farm, art, markets I'd include it all in the name...maybe find people that are interested in all we do and get more orders and traffic. Although I'm liking the new office....it's still a 110 mile drive every day, and that I could do without, but until the farm, art and signs make that kind of an income...a necessary evil. Stop on over to the website as well as share this blog on your own google+

new CAD job, still looking for signs...art...

Still would love did I mention LOVE to replace the engineering autocad work with just the farm and art.. but at least I'm now in a professional office with professional acting people. That will help immensely however getting up at 5am to drive the hour each way commute...on top of milking goats, feeding critters doing a 2 1/2 acre garden and 2 markets, being in 3- 4h clubs and sitting on the church board along with the cemetery association...is gonna take it's toll.
If you know anyone interested in the old fashioned - hand painted - from an artist work....instead of a vinyl print off a computer...send em over to http://katehagerartist.com - if you know a way to get the farm paid off so we can end our 40 hour outside the farm jobs...send that on over too, there is a contact page on the site. We'd love to build the heirloom non-GMO farm up and just work it to bring you the best produce we can :-)

#art work direct from #artist - hand made #gifts

Check out the sign work, art and other items on the site...share, share, share please and thanks. We are trying to work our way out of work, find a way to get the farm to pay for it's own bills ... or better yet paid off so we can go down to just working there and getting done what we need to. We do heirloom fruits and veggies along with the livestock and art....along with full time jobs to pay for it all...along with 4H and church...and....and. I know my/our clients are out there somewhere to end the commute, the outside jobs and get us just into our farm. Be sure to look through all the pages.  http://katehagerartist.com
