After weeks of cold work from a group of hardy volunteers, the high tunnel is ready to have plastic put on it! We plan to put the plastic on THIS SUNDAY, December 8, at 2:00PM (right after the Farm Feast). We estimate it will take 12-15 people around 1-2 hours to complete. The weather needs to be dry and not too windy - right now Sunday is forecast to be sunny and 50 degrees! Please join us for an afternoon outside as we get the high tunnel ready to grow winter crops!

Thanks to the wonderful people at George J. Igel & Co., the storybook trail can now be completed! They donated their time to remove 6-8 inches of limestone under the soil, which was preventing us from installing the landscape fabric and timbers to match the rest of the trail. The stone was then recycled into a new driveway for the Farm! A special shout-out to Joe Newman as well for making the connection!
