Growing, harvesting, and saving heirloom seeds
Mark's conversation tonight is with Morgan & Alex Mitchell, owners of ARK Seed Kits. They started ARK 15 years ago from their little 12x12ft garden downtown Traverse City, MI. Growing gardens has always been a main staple over many generations in their families which provided them with basic skills on how to grow their own vegetables. But 15 years ago, they decided to venture into growing only heirloom seeds, to provide higher quality tasting produce. From their first heirloom produce harvest, they learned how to save the seeds from multiple different varieties of plants. That was the start of their seed saving venture. From that first harvest, they had multiple requests from friends and family for a share of their seed harvest.
In the following year, their seed harvest grew as well as the demand for sharing their seed stock. That is where ARK (Agricultural Resource Kit) started.
Morgan & Alex are born and raised in Traverse City/Kingsley area. They have been married for 16 years and have 4 children.

Microgreens and health: a homestead convo with Elty Farms
Teresa is a northern Michigan native that spent about 15 years in Florida and returned home in 2018. Teresa struggled with her health most of her life but became very ill after the birth of her youngest child. After years of being shuffled through the medical system, she was finally diagnosed with lupus. Further health decline and a lot of frustration with Western Medicine followed her diagnosis, until she embarked on a journey to wellness through alternative medicine & natural healing. Food was an important part of that journey and that's where she discovered the world of microgreens. In 2021, she decided to share her passion with our community and open the farm. Her daughter, Elise (El), has had an affinity for animals her entire life and her son, Tyler (Ty), was the one that inspired her passion for herbs, hence Elty Farms was born. Elty Farms specializes in microgreens, herbs, and rabbitry. The passion of the farm is to educate others and hopefully inspire journeys to health through clean and healthy eating and living.
