Spring Fever + Earth Day Celebration April 18

By The Farm Team | April 7, 2010

Dear Friends:

Fortunately we had a few weeks of spring before winter decided to return. Those dry, warm days right after the Spring Equinox gave us the chance to cut down some of our winter cover crop and dig a half dozen beds in the main garden. Then this last week of rain helped all the cover crop we tilled in break down: perfect conditions for our first spring plantings of collards, lettuces, broccoli, and chois. Meanwhile, the hillside crew has been busy channeling water into a series of small ponds and setting up terraces for an ambitious summer season.

If you want to share in the fun, please join us this coming Saturday, April 10, at noon for our regularly scheduled workday. We’ll be busy knocking down some more cover crop and digging some more beds. We’ve got a lot of work to do and we really need you help, so please come out. … The next regular workday, Monday, April 12, will also be a busy one as we start to set up irrigation lines in the hillside orchard.

And mark your calendar for our 4th Annual Alemany Farm Earth Day BBQ! Sunday, April 18: 10 AM to 3 PM.

We will have plenty of spring work tasks, including potato, tomato, cucumber and squash planting. We will have a BBQ lunch with organic sausages and veggie burgers. Please bring a side dish or dessert to share! … We will have some music and plenty of games for kids, including face painting. It should be a blast.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Farm soon. Thanks, as always, for your work to make SF more food secure.

The Farm Team
