SCHEDULE CHANGE - NO WORKDAY THIS SATURDAY 4/23
Yes - we are cancelling another saturday work day!! Today, chance of storm all day and the farm is crazy muddy from all the rain we got already. Luckily, we got a lot of urgent things done over the past few days - planted rhubarb, asparagus, and blackberries, and we are going to wait to plant most of our spring crops until the soil warms up some more - probably early May. IT's been a weird COLD spring!

SCHEDULE CHANGE - NO WORKDAY THIS SATURDAY 4/16

We are excited to talk about Food and Community! Amy Miller and Alice will be presenting with Ajay Nair on tuesday april 19th. We will be talking about the many benefits of growing, cooking, eating, and sharing local food. We will also have mini garden kits available with 4 easy to grow plants that can be planted mid-April. (it will be Kale, chard, broccolini, and maybe something else)

Hello Everyone,

Happy cold wild windy SPRING!

Here on the farm, it's been a slow creep into spring, with lots of windy, damp, grey days. The soil is very slowly warming up. This slow transition is probably good for our perennials, but the farmers and our little seedlings could sure use some sun!

this year we are trying a new experiment -
the VEGETABLE TEAM - There's still time to sign up for a CROP!!

Here's a picture from this summer's soil science class taught by the fantastic Amber Anderson.
