Spare a Sandwich for Alemany Farm
Sunday, January 2nd, 2011Dear Farm Friends:
We’re writing to ask you a favor.
In the last five years since we revitalized an abandoned garden and turned it into Alemany Farm, we’ve never sought financial donations from our volunteers. After all, you already give so much. You give your time, your energy, and your enthusiasm for a sustainable food system.
But even [...]
Upcoming Workdays at Alemany Farm
Monday, December 13th, 2010The weather lately has been perfectly wintry. Out at Alemany Farm we’ve got all of our winter cover crop in the ground, the garlic has started to come up, and our 2011 strawberries are all tucked in for the cold, dark weeks to come.
Still, there’s plenty of work to be done in the garden, [...]

In the meantime, [...]

Eat Real Festival + Farm Workdays + Climate Change Activism
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010Well, better than late than never. Summer arrived … just in time for fall. But we at Alemany Farm will take whatever warm days we can get. This especially cold and clammy summer (the coolest in 40 years in the Bay Area) has been punishment to the tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and other heat-loving crops. So [...]
Summertime at Alemany Farm
Friday, July 30th, 2010Dear Farm Friends:
The rest of the country might be suffering from crazy heat waves, but at least we here in the SF Bay we’ve got our cool climate to keep it chill. Which, while not ideal for, say, melons and okra, is at least warm enough to bring on an abundant summer crop of squash, [...]

Alemany Farm Out on the Town
Friday, June 25th, 2010Dear Farm Friends:
One of the great things about urban agriculture is that, well, it’s urban. Which means that there are more opportunities to engage people in conversations about sustainable food systems than there might be in the sticks.
In the next couple of week, Alemany Farmers will be speaking at a couple [...]
