Another month another work party! You’re invited — September 13 from 10am-12noon. Please email us if you’d like to come!

What we have planned for our next work party: a cleanup of a small corner of the farm that we call the Society Land, which has been used for educational/demonstration purposes. We’ll be weeding, pruning, gathering seeds and cutting back the raspberry canes. Some delicious snacks will follow, and a farm tour for those who are interested.

Here’s how last month looked (with thanks to our volunteer Miho Lindley for her snaps!) – we had some awesome volunteers who shifted serious quantities of wood chips, kept themselves hydrated and stuck around for a tour and some chips afterwards.

First we work….
…then we tour…
Ahhh… the shady watermelon finale
