I just picked up my first box of lusciously green goodies tonight to kick off the 2011 season and I'm so excited! Giving Tree Farm is a non-profit run by Community-Based Interventions. It started as a community garden for people with disabilities and today is the home of vocational training and rehabilitation for people who have suffered brain injuries. You can find their produce in local farmers markets and at the East Lansing Food Co-Op [ http://www.yelp.com/biz/east-lansing-food-co-operative-east-lansing ] as well as in local restaurants. I love everything about this place... you've got to check them out and give their wonderfully fresh and healthy produce a try. I have been standing in my kitchen eating spinach and mixed spring salad out of the bag for the last 10 minutes.

They carry some zingermans products and their catering is very convenient around the holidays. They carry Christmas trees in the winter and lots of herbs, flowers, etc outside in the warmer months. I *love* their quiches. They have become a holiday staple in our family on Christmas and Thanksgiving morning. Lately I've been coming for postpartum prepared meals because I know their ingredients are decent. Everything is a bit pricey, but I know the stuff is quality and we've had such a good experience with their catering department. That we will be shopping here for a long time.

I've been coming to Spicer Farm and Orchard every year with my family and friends ; it's become a…read morelittle fall tradition for us. However, during our most recent visit, we noticed quite a few changes from previous years, and unfortunately, not all for the better. They no longer have the scenic hayride that used to include a free donut and a cup of apple cider with your ticket purchase. Now, it's $5 per person, and instead of a peaceful scenic ride, it stops at every station and they no longer give you a donut & cider with ticket purchase. When we asked about the change, we were told it was because they weren't making money off the old setup. I understand businesses need to adjust, but it really took away from the experience. That scenic ride with the cider and donut was always one of the highlights for us ; something we truly looked forward to every year. They did add more bouncy houses for the kids, which is nice, but the ones they had before were just as fun. The food was about the same, decent, but nothing special. It was noticeably more expensive this year. $5 for a single ear of corn felt excessive. On the positive side, the cinnamon donuts are still amazing, and the apple cider is as delicious as ever. I also enjoyed the wine tasting, which is always fun, though seating is still limited and could be improved. Overall, the visit just didn't have the same charm or warmth as before. We still had an okay time, but it didn't feel as memorable as past years. Sadly, I think this might be our last year visiting, we'll probably look for a new orchard next fall.

You will find your typically fruits and vegetables but they often have a tons of items that you may not be able to get from a Kroger like longans, lychee nut, rambutan, guanabana soursop, and more! My only concern is that it can be hard to maneuver through the aisles when it is very crowded, plus you have staff working as well so things can get pretty tight but it's well worth it for all that savings and great finds you get. I'm always shocked by how little my cost is when I leave the register. The environment may not be for everyone but I think it's 100% worth checking out at least once if you're in the area.
