Sunny gives a quick halfway point video report on how the first farm planting work bee (more like construction preparation work stuff) is going so far. A lot of thistle cutting, rock picking, plant hardening and raised bed construction has been going on. There’ll be lots to do on Tuesday and Wednesday in terms of spreading compost, setting up beds and the actual get the ground going actions at that time. Feel free to drop in for some fresh air (seriously), good exercise and a dose of food inspired community.
FoodCycles Launch Party Planning
Don’t we all love parties? Well if you’re interested in helping to plan out the official FoodCycles launch party some time in late July then that would be wondrous!
We'll be selling worms, worm compost (the highest quality food for your plants hands down), fresh fruits and vegetables, city honey (sweet things come in good time) and tilapia fish (give us a year or three and you'll have this on your plate).
