Dear Mustard Seed Farm friends,

We are entering a quieter season at the farm after finishing our last harvest mornings at the beginning of November, which included some beautiful cauliflower. We are so grateful to our whole community and to our amazing volunteers for making this another great season. We donated more than 5,000 lbs of food and hundreds of flower bouquets this year! Thank you all!

This is a short mini post to tell you 3 things:

1. GARLIC PLANTING WORKDAY -
This coming Saturday 10/26 9am-noon, 1-4pm.
And we will probably also be planting garlic on friday and sunday. More info below.
