hello friends,

we finally got some rain on the farm! Last night we had a big storm that left behind .95" of rain on all of our thirsty vegetables. I'm hoping this will be the end of the crazy force-field that stops all weather systems from raining over our farm.

This is Shadowbeast, our excellent farm cat and mythical creature and fuzzy farming companion all in one:

Dear Universe,

Introducing three of our 2018 summer interns (one more still to come!), Rachel Eber, Alice Foster, and Derek Seil! They have been with us for a couple of weeks now and will be gracing the farm with their presences until the beginning of August. They have already proven to be beautiful additions to our farm community! Come out to one of our harvest days or workdays to get to know them! Here are their fun answers to my questions:

Rachel Eber

1. What vegetable are you and why?

Introducing 2018 spring/fall intern, Katrina Courtney! Get to know her by reading her fun answers to my questions below; meet her in person and work with her by coming out to the farm sometime! She started interning this spring, will be gone for the summer, and will be back with us mid-August. She is a lovely individual, and I am so glad I know her!

1. What vegetable are you and why?
K: Sweet potatoes, because I too, am sweet :)
2. Favorite color?
K: Blue.
3. What brings you joy?

When: Sunday, June 10th
Where: Mustard Seed Community Farm, 366 W Avenue

hello friends,
We are really swamped on the farm (see below for a more detailed explanation) and we are asking for extra help this next week to see if we can get to a more stable, sane state.

Spring is in full swing and there's a lot going on here on the farm!
2 Volunteer opportunities, The beginning of farmers' market, and upcoming potlucks!
Also, here's our prairie hand-out sheets for the farmers' market. If all goes well, we should have all these varieties this year.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
May 12: PLanting 9am-4pm.

We can finally start planting!
all these little plants are ready to go in the ground! And we are ready to have a little more room in the house!
(i was trying to put a picture here, but it's not working right now)
The soil is still pretty cool, but the forecast says it will stay above freezing for the next 10 days, so we are going to be planting tomorrow, saturday april 21, from 9-4.
You are invited to join us!
we will have 2 shifts - 9am-noon, a lunch break from noon-1, and afternoon, from 1-4pm.
if you will be here over lunch, please bring your own food, or something to share.
