Saturday, July 18 7:30 – 10:00am It’s that time of year when we clear our summer gardens in preparation for our kindler, gentler fall garden season. All farmers are invited to the farm tomorrow for a work party to clean up individual plots, pathways, and along the edges of unrented neighboring plots. Let’s all do our part to make the farm a beautiful, enjoyable place for everyone. Bottled water will be provided!
