Springtime at Alemany Farm

By The Farm Team | March 19, 2009

Dear Friends:

The days are getting noticeably longer, the weather is warming up, and at Alemany Farm we are digging into Spring. 

We hope you can join us at our next workday, Saturday, March 21 as we start on our spring garden bed tillage, compost building, and cover crop mowing. The garden is starting transform itself again, and we hope you can help us make it happen. 

Here are some other dates you should mark on your calendar:

Sat, March 28: Typical Farm workday digging beds, with special attention to be paid to the Native Plant areas at the entrance to the Farm and in the West Garden. From Noon to 1 PM the Native Plant Society will host a discussion of local plants and invasive weeds. ALSO: A workshop on mushroom cultivation. A busy day not to be missed. 

Sun, April 5: The Start of Spring Planting! More bed digging and then we’ll be putting broccoli, collards, and lettuces into the ground, plus salad mix and carrots in the lower boxes. On this Sunday we will also be one of the stops on a City-wide garden tour organized by the Native Plant Society. Come help us greet visitors from throughout the City. Visit

Sat, April 11: Spring planting continues as we put in our potatoes and beets. We will continue bed digging and compost building.

Sat, April 18: Our Third Annual Earth Day BBQ! For those eager to work, we’ll be planting tomatoes, peppers, basil, and summer squash.

We  hope to see you at the Farm during this busy season.  Thanks so much, as always, for your work to make  SF more food secure.
