hi friends,

our wonderful friend Andrea says, "Even though industrial and alternative agricultures are often talked about like they’re opposites, real farming worlds are often messier. This talk tries to push beyond the agricultural binary to understand how food systems in Iowa are changing."

If you are bored on July 5, come join us for some garlic excitement!

Here are some historic pictures of previous garlic harvests, including a happy Alice Foster trimming garlic.

#1 is that you are invited to help us harvest GARLIC on July 5th!

Would you like to learn more about the Catholic Worker Movement?
Join us in a series of virtual lessons and discussions about the core values of the catholic worker movement.  this is a great  opportunity to learn more about the catholic worker movement and to get to know people from other communities.  You don't need to sign up for all the sessions (though i think they will all be great!)

featuring this week's newsletter by Mira Livia Berkson. (alice's apologies for the cut-off edges. the original is bigger than the farm's scanner)

hello everyone!
Here's this week's newsletter, made by Maggie Miller, an intern and community member on the farm.  The weather continues to be very challenging and stressful, leading to lots of unpredictability in the crop yields.  All of us on the farm are thankful for the cooler weather today, and Sunday's half inch of rain, but we need much more.  we are still hoping for some more this week.
