On Groundhog's Day, a gorgeous sunny day, blue house greenhouse farm underwent some serious changes. Great changes, done by some really great people! Thank you to those great people- Jeff, Brian, Laura, Mollie, Kim, Wynne, Jennie, David, Nathan, Bobby, Carrie, and Abby-thank you, thank you, thank you! We did so much!! We made potting soil and started seeds in the greenhouse-a variety of lettuce, kale, chard, collards, and onions. We built washing and packing tables for harvested vegetables and a shelter for those tables (previously we had a pop-up tent and crappy folding tables). And we spread mulch, cleared blackberries, and enjoyed the day! We want to give a super special thanks to Laura and Brian who brought a delicious lunch-homemade chili and cornbread-for everyone! What a day, we couldn't have asked for a better one. Look below for photos and come by sometime and check out the changes!
