Welcome to the Little Pistol Farms Blog — Your Local Source for Farming Life in Kalamazoo, Michigan

At Little Pistol Farms, we believe the best lessons come straight from the soil. Our blog shares real stories from our small family farm on the Kalamazoo–Van Buren County line — right near Paw Paw, Mattawan, and southwest Michigan communities. Whether we’re talking about growing heirloom tomatoes, prepping for pumpkin season, or figuring out how to outsmart a row of squash bugs, we’re learning as we grow — and sharing it with you.

Follow along for behind-the-scenes stories, farm updates, produce tips, and insight into our journey as beginning farmers offering U-pick pumpkins, seasonal vegetables, and locally grown produce near Kalamazoo, MI.
