Certification Challenges
Here is the message they shared with their customers and community: "Brian and I are devastated, and in mourning. We are heartbroken over the potential damage to our business and our certification, and we feel sick because we promised all of you that we would grow healthy certified organic vegetables for your bodies and your families. We are also deeply sad about any damage there may have been to the ecosystem of our farm. Of all of the challenges we’ve faced over the years this is taking the biggest toll."
Despite this setback, Firmly Rooted continues to operate using small scale, sustainable farming practices. Brian, Tamara and the team are committed to producing high, quality food that nourishes Huron County and that is grown with love.

I love transplanting. There is very little as joyful as tucking baby plants into the ground; it is such instant satisfaction. Dig a hole in
