this Friday, june 3 - potluck and concert on the farm - 6-8:30pm. we will get our food and start the music right away.
opening will be a short set by the porch stompers followed by the LEONAS.

Stephanie Plant was an intern at the mustard seed farm in 2010 and her music is amazing. Her original music is melodious, spirited, inspiring, and quirky. She might be the best singer I know. Listening to her makes me happy. invite your friends (personally and maybe on facebook too)

we've been harvesting for 3 weeks now. here's the newsletter for today's box

thanks everyone for all your wonderful help, support, and company at our fun-raising event this past saturday! i think we all had a lot of fun and we made about $2,500 to help put new roofs on our buildings and hopefully help the farm to clinic program get up and running this year.

just to let you know about 2 upcoming things at the farm -
april 23 workday

here's a fun event, (not hosted by us) that folks might be interested in.

bring a dish to share and some cash to put into the pot. then listen to agricultural art proposals, vote for your favorite and the winner takes home the pot to help them complete the project. I think the mustard seed farm will have a proposal to present. Often it seems like the prize goes to whoever has the most friends there - so invite your friends but vote for whatever project you like the best!

SPRING FUN-RAISING EXTRAVAGANZA

please join us for another winter potluck!

POTLUCK:

this one is next Saturday evening, february 27th 6pm - 8pm at Helen Gunderson's house:

Well, its messy out there! Snow's melting fast as we speak and there was a good share of it this year. Soil should have plenty of moisture going into early spring, especially with record rainfall in December. The house's addition, which will feature a sun-room for starting plants as well as a basement for storm shelter, has seen significant progress and, though not yet complete, will be in functional mode for spring activities. Four trays of onions and some other early starts are mostly germinated and on their way.

Do you ever wonder what life is like on an organic vegetable farm? Do you have a desire to learn about growing and distributing healthy vegetables and fruits? Do you yearn to make an impact on local food justice? Do you want to get serious about lowering your carbon footprint? How about gaining experience in community-based, consensus decision-making? Mustard Seed Community Farm would be an excellent place for you, and we have great opportunities for interns this 2016 season.

Hey Folks, hope you can make it to our potluck this Saturday and bring friends! See below for details. Gio, a farm team member and host for this potluck requests you bring your own plates and silverware, in addition to food to share. Thanks so much. It should be a fun sharing time and there'll be a great slideshow w narration of farm happenings over the last 8 years!

Cheers, Nate
