hello from Alice and the Mustard Seed Community Farm and Catholic Worker!

December 6-19: Building new Multi-purpose farm building - can you help?

Dear friends,

(in this email:
1. our ambitious amazing new building project
2. looking for help - volunteers, building materials, craft materials
3. lists of materials needed.)

oh no! another sideways picture!
i just wanted to let everyone know how things are going with the building.
last week the framing crew got the whole structure up, with plywood outside and tyvek wrapping it all up before it started raining.

we are waiting for the doors and windows to arrive - they were a little back ordered, but should be here around thanksgiving. The roof might happen before the windows get here.

hello friends,

While attempting to get the Catholic Worker Farmer newspaper ready to mail, i realized that A LOT of our addresses are out of date.

if you have moved in the last 2 years,
or
haven't been getting the paper in more than 2 years
and
would like to still (or newly) receive the CATHOLIC WORKER FARMER newspaper, please
reply to this email: your postal mailing address.
