Aquaponics Update

Our first deep water culture bed is 95% done, just needs the pond linear and it's complete. As always, message us if you are interested in helping or learning more about Aquaponics at the farm!

Meetings Galore

Last week, the farmers sat down with the chefs from Chuck n' Auggies. At this meeting, each farmer shared information about a crop they thought would benefit Chuck n' Auggies' menu. SVSF left the restaurant eager to start growing. All but one farmer got the go-ahead to plant their crop. Of course, we first need to let the ground thaw and the temperatures rise. For now, we're planning what varieties to buy, where to buy, what plots to plant said varieties, and how many seeds are needed.

In other news, this Wednesday we have our second SVSF club meeting, at 6:00 in the Sprague basement. We hope to see you there!

The above are pictures from our seed catalogues.

First Snow Day of 2016

We were only supposed to get 5 inches of snow, but by Friday morning almost a foot had piled up! Not ones to shy away from the elements, the farmers got outside and shoveled around the hoop house. Then, many hiked the hill to sled down, before thawing out their toes inside, and settling into blankets and hot cocoa.
