Earth Day, Transplanting and Airstream Trailer

























Beautiful show of people on Earth Day...

Cucumber, Broccoli, Cauliflower and Chard seedlings got transplanted yesterday.  They will be ready to go in the garden beds in 2-3 weeks.



















100lbs (4 varieties) of seed potatoes were planted

The colorful signs that were placed on the fence adjacent the bike trail have been drawing a lot of inquiring visitors.  One of them, Jim, a neighbor, offered to loan us a 31' Airstream trailer to lodge our farm superintendent.

A donation of $50 was made by one of our volunteers, and One Earth Solutions donated seeds and two water timers for our irrigation system.

A beautiful Earth Day indeed!

A group of students from the Worcester Polytechnic Institute currently working on a project in Santa Fe on sustainability will be visiting the farm on Thursday.
