  Spring at Last! Work Days Coming Up

Harvest links  

 

April/May 2008

Dear Spring Hill Members,

Spring at last!! The garlic has poked its head out of the ground and we’re hoping to plant peas VERY soon.

We have scheduled our annual Spring Work Days. They are Thursday, May 15th, Wednesday, May 21st and Saturday, May 31st. Depending on the day we’ll be working in the greenhouse, transplanting in the field, weeding and working on various projects around the farm.

All are welcome! Click Here for more information.

Other special dates this season are:
Fall Work Day: Sunday, September 21st
Harvest Dinner: Saturday evening, November 1st.

We’d also like to have a few small cooking classes this summer. If you’d like to lead one or could offer your home to host such an event, let me know. We’ve done these in the past – Indian cooking with veggies from the farm, easy vegetarian meals, etc. They’ve been both informative and fun for the people attending.

Finally, I’ve mentioned before that we are beginning work on a story/recipe book project. If you’re interested in helping out with such a project, we’d love to have you.
Let me know and I’ll keep you informed of upcoming meetings and ways you could help out.

If you have any questions about any of this let me know.

P.S. One more thing – if you are planning to make either two payments or monthly installments, it’s time for a payment. If you need to know how much you owe, please ask.

New This Year
Eggs! After a ten year hiatus, chickens will return to the farm. Plans are in the works
for a small, portable chicken coop that will house a handful of laying hens. Eggs will be available on the farm when the hens say so! (There won’t be enough to send with shares but they will be a fun extra on harvest days!
