Dear farm friends,

Spring is in full swing on the farm! Flowers are blooming, perennial crops are greening, the greenhouse is full, and we are planting our earliest annual crops in the fields. We have many events and volunteer opportunities this month, and we hope you'll join us for some of them.

hi friends,
It's time to start planting!!The weather and the soil are starting to warm up.  It's still early, but it's time to start planting our earliest things, like spinach, some onions, lettuce, peas.  We are looking for help this Friday to prep the beds for these crops, and start getting them planted before the rain chances next week.  We might also do some pruning of raspberries and grapes.
if you are able to help, please RSVP by text to Alice 978-471-8414

Friday 3/27:10am-noon - bed prep and planting
1-4pm - bed prep, planting, and pruning
