⁠
Wednesday, July 13th, we had the Target Group senior Leadership team out on the farm. Our farm was their first volunteer activity in 2 years, and they were so excited. ⁠
⁠
Wednesday was a great day of moving compost, building up our pathways in the herb garden with pea stone (making the herb garden more accessible), weeding, building up the potato beds, pruning oregano, and much more.⁠
⁠
We are so happy they choose our community farm!⁠
⁠
Thank you so much to this senior Leadership Team from @Target for coming to the farm and putting in some work 💪 ⁠

CoolBot is installed! Thank you @ybnorthshore for all your hard work. We Still can’t believe this install happened in one day 🙌

In September 2021 our community helped us raise funds for this CoolBot and because of you we are now able to increase the amount of food we grow and reach more families.

The ability to have a temperature-controlled unit at the farm to keep produce fresh while we work to distribute it throughout our community is so huge

Our volunteers worked on clearing leaves from beds this weekend 💪They made sure to repurpose the leaves in other places on the farm.

💫 Did you know leaves can help soil keep in moisture, they also help feed worms and can help keep weeds at bay.

We’re Thinning our Swiss Chard ! When starting

We’re Thinning our Swiss Chard !

When starting plants in cell trays it’s always best to toss more than one seed in each cell. This insures better odds of something growing in each cell.

Eventually you’ll need to “thin” your cell trays if overcrowding occurs.

Pro tip: seedlings 🌱 should have at least ✌️ pairs of true leaves and be roughly 2-4 inches tall before thinning.

💫 Friendly reminder that there’s just today and tomorrow left to VOTE for our farm! Winning this grant would allow us to host more workshops on the farm this season and staff volunteer days properly💪
