Question 3

Is everything grown on the farm?

We grow 90% of the produce that is sold on the farm. If we do not grow it, we partner with other local west Michigan farms. All other products (milk, honey, coffee, etc.) are produced and sourced from west Michigan as well.

Question 4

When did you open?

Accepted Answer

July 13, 2019

We are not certified organic, but we practice sustainable farming methods. If we see a pest or disease threat in our fields, we will combat those threats with green chemistry to avoid losing much of our yield.

Question 6

Does it cost money to come to the farm?

Accepted Answer

There is no admission/gate fee at Deep Roots. You are welcome to come check out the market and petting zoo for free. The sunflower field, corn maze, produce & other items in the market barn and other activities do have a cost associated.

Question 7

Can we feed the animals?

Accepted Answer

Yes; we sell one time use feed cups and seasonal feed cups. The seasonal feed cup is a great option if you are a Deep Roots regular!

Question 8

What kinds of events do you host?

Accepted Answer

Check out our events & info page for more details!

Question 9

Do you have food/drinks?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a kitchen, but we do sell cider in the fall and Mooville milk all season! We host food trucks on many weekends too (check our social media pages for dates & details on food trucks.)

Question 10

Do you have a CSA?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a CSA program. However, we do sell weekly produce boxes in peak harvest season. On our social media platforms, we post what will be in the boxes that week. It varies from week to week depending on what is available. The contents of the box are always shared prior to you purchasing the box! Boxes are picked up at the farm (you choose the date and time.)

Question 11

Are dogs allowed on the farm?

Accepted Answer

We welcome leashed, well behaved dogs in the produce market, but we do not allow dogs in our fields. Please also do not bring dogs near the petting zoo, as it can cause stress to our farm animals. We do host a dog day in our corn maze on the last day of the season, so your furry friends are welcome in the maze on that day!

Question 12

Do you sell bushels of produce?

Accepted Answer

The main items we sell by the bushel are tomatoes and sweet corn. Our corn comes from E Miedema & Sons in Byron Center, and is always delicious! Our tomatoes are very flavorful and are amazing for eating fresh or canning. Once our tomato harvest starts to pick up, we begin offering bushel and half bushel sales. We offer prepicked and upick bushels. For other produce items, we offer bushel pricing if we have a surplus available.

Question 13

Do you sell seeds?

Accepted Answer

No we do not.

Question 14

When does the sunflower path open?

Accepted Answer

Mid August is usually when they begin to bloom. The path will stay open for about 3 weeks, as long as the sunflowers are in good shape. We will announce an opening date on our social media platforms.

Question 15

When does the corn maze open?

Accepted Answer

Friday evening of Labor Day weekend

Question 16

How does the corn maze work?

Accepted Answer

Our corn maze is a family friendly activity that can be enjoyed by all ages. Daytime admission to our corn maze comes with all day access to all three trails (beginner, intermediate and advanced.) There are twelve checkpoints throughout the whole maze. You will receive a punchcard that serves as your map and shows an aerial view of the maze. Find all twelve checkpoints and fill your punch card to complete the maze! We also have a GPS tracker that you may use if you wish; you will scan a QR code that populates an interactive map on your smart phone. This is a great resource to use if you are nervous about doing mazes!   *Tickets to special events nights in the maze (ie haunted and glow nights) are sold separately.

Question 17

How old do you have to be to go in the maze?

Accepted Answer

All ages are welcome in the maze, but all children 11 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
