June Work Day
Come join us as we continue to harvest, plant, establish beds, spread mulch, and generally put some love and energy into the farm!
Agro-Forestry and Farm Design Workshop
Come and join us for a full-day workshop on Agro-Forestry and perennial crop design. Agro-Forestry is a system that uses perennial trees, shrubs and crops to add value to pastures, crop fields, along roadsides and field edges. Crops are planted in rows much like traditional vegetable farming, but because they are perennial you only plant them once. You wont have to plant, weed or till again, and you will still be able to bring these crops to market or enjoy year after year. These systems can be used in conjunction with annual crops, other perennial crops, or in fields where you will be grazing livestock, doubling your production in these areas. You can also plant them in areas where you may not have otherwise had anything in production. The day will consist of a presentation in the morning and hands-on demonstration and implementation in the afternoon.
March Work Day
Our day of work in March will be exciting, as we will be preparing for a workshop on the 7th! We will be planting out hundreds of trees on the 7th and will use this work day to prep the ground for a morning presentation and an afternoon hands-on demonstration and plant-out. We may also be putting up a hoop house for season extension and continuing to form beds for annual and perennial crops.
February Work Day
Come join us for a day of being outside, getting dirty, preparing the farm, and getting to wave to friends from afar (“socially distanced"). We will be cleaning up the farm, chipping up brush, setting up electric fencing, putting down cardboard and mulch for beds, and generally prepping for the season.
Spring Planting + Community Work Day
Come and join us this April as we put the first plants in the ground. This will be a day of planting, as we put out some transplants, direct seed, flowers, veggies, plant some fruit bushes and enjoy the merriment of being outside with each other. This will be a more formal “Grand Opening” to our farm journey as we put our first plants for harvest in the ground. We will also be unveiling our farm sign, and concluding with a community potluck event.
More Details to come.
Soft Opening + Work Day
You’re invited to join us as we celebrate our grand opening with some sweat equity to start and then music and food to finish. We will be using all of the tools and materials bought with all of the generous donations to establish beds, put in fencing, clean up the space, prep mushroom logs and whatever else may need to be done!
The work day part of the event will be happening from 10-3 and then we will convene from 4-6 pm for some delicious food, community building, and a celebration. We will unveil the official farm sign and dedicate a tree planting to the farm.
If interested please send an email letting us know, including number of people and if you might be able to bring any tools to the event.
