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While attempting to get the Catholic Worker Farmer newspaper ready to mail, i realized that A LOT of our addresses are out of date.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

This coming saturday, 9/8, please join us at the farm for a potluck from 4:30-6:30.
if you want to come early, we will be cleaning and trimming garlic and working in the garden from 1:30-4.

Celeriac is a variety of celery that makes bigger edible roots, and usually has shorter, tougher stalks. These stalks and leaves are packed with flavor though, and are great added to soups.

Hello everyone!

So, Xueyan, our last summer intern, left us just a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't able to post Xueyan's introduction to the farm community on this blog, so hopefully you got to know them while they were here! This is a little taste of Xueyan to say goodbye for now, with some pictures and their answers to my fun questions!

1. What vegetable are you and why? Peas, because I'm small, spherical, and fun.

hello friends,

You are invited to join us for 3 hours of fun labor, this sunday, to celebrate labor day weekend! Sunday, sept 2, 1-4pm.

We are celebrating labor for the common good, not for money, gain, competition, status, or out of fear. Lets celebrate an economy of generosity, care for the planet and others, dignity for workers, and joy in the beauty of the outdoors.

Hello Universe! This is Allyson!

Today I am beginning my blog series on medicinal plants! I have been learning as much as I can this season about medicinal plants - wild foraged, plants that I am growing intentionally, and prairie plants. So this blog focuses on a wild foraged plant (that some people may call a "weed") that I have been learning about.

#1 Dandelion!
