After several months of weeding and laying out the groundwork, we starting to harvest items! Currently we have pulled lots of peppers, basil and a small amount of tomatoes, squash, and zuchinni.

The site is looking BEAUTIFUL and we're looking forward to a new compost unit being built onsite for Vermi-compost education.

We continue to work several days a week with Monday at 5pm being open volunteer day. Please join us!

Although it's not completely official, we are farming again and boy are we excited! After months of work with a yet to be named local University, we've found ourselves a new plot to develop into a partnership farm capable of producing items used in our menus. The land is not designated "organic" yet but that is our aim, so rest assured we are using proper practice until the certification is gained.

In late April, students from an Agro-Ecology class planted their own 25'x25' plots using their own designs and layout. This led to some interesting topography as well as a very diverse range of produce on just over .3 acres. 

Green Planet's job is to keep these plots well tended and watered over the summer and fall in the hopes of creating produce to be used in our meals. Each spring, the students taking this class will design new plots and the process will begin again. Hopefully, each year we'll be able to add to the size as well as create new features and educational opportunities.

Until an official partnership is signed, the second party will remain anonymous and there will be no events held for the public. Once all terms are agreed upon, we'll begin hosting volunteer days, educational events, and hopefully even farm to fork dinners!
