Firefly Fields is an organic, family-run farm in southwestern Michigan that emphasizes community, sustainable farming, and environmental stewardship. The farm values family, resilient agrarian practices, a harmonious ecosystem, and the joy of food. Inviting visitors to join their journey, they foster a sense of belonging and celebrate life and nature together.
Firefly Honey is opening pre-orders for its 2024 Seasonal Honey Selection, offering high-quality raw varietal honey from its certified organic farm. With an increase in bee colonies, Firefly focuses on producing unique flavors by collecting honey throughout the season. Orders come in single as wells as three or five jar sampler options.
Midwest farmers, millers, and bakers, including Ben, attended a workshop on stone-milling at the Northern Crops Institute in Fargo, thanks to the Artisan Grain Collaborative (AGC). It was a humbling learning experience focusing on grain/flour quality and milling operations. The trip inspired the prospect of expanding Firefly Fields with new milling equipment and enhancing stone-ground flour products, emphasizing the importance of community within regional grain economies.
In the Firefly Fields newsletter, Ben and Virginia reflect on two years of farm adventures, while Ayano Matsumae shares traditional Japanese soybean dishes and art, Virginia calls for a more liberal approach to cheffing, and the newsletter also features a product spotlight on organic soybeans, highlighting their nutritional benefits and flavor.
The post discusses different types of chefs – the Savory Chef, Pastry Chef, and Food Blogger, each with unique approaches to cooking. It argues for a more liberal approach to cooking with trust in one’s instincts. It also touches on personal experiences with soybeans and invites readers to ponder their experiences in the kitchen.
Firefly Fields has embarked on a fulfilling five-year journey with organic soybeans, celebrating their versatility and nutritional benefits. From cultivating friendships with like-minded individuals like Norah, the “Tempeh Temptress,” to discovering the rich history and culinary traditions of soybeans, the team eagerly anticipates further exploration and experimentation with soy-based dishes in 2024.
We are excited to introduce our new Organic Hard Red Spring Wheat product line. Available as raw berries or stone-milled flour in various quantities, it has received great feedback locally. The raw berries are versatile for milling or cooking, while the stone-milled flour retains all the natural components, adding a nutty flavor to your baking.
World Bee Day is a time to appreciate the vital role of bees in our ecosystem. Firefly Honey celebrates by offering pre-orders for their exceptional organic honey. Their focus on high-quality, varietal honey and sustainable agricultural practices sets them apart. Customers can also look forward to new seasonal honey selections and pick-up options.
