Beep! Beep!! Tool Drive Spotlight Alert!!
The Community Farm is on the lookout for a flat-bottomed cart! The design of these carts makes it especially easy to move totes of produce around when harvesting at the farm.

If you have a gently used flat-bottomed cart you're wanting to donate, or would like to see the other items we are in need of, follow the link below to our website:

These extra-large watering cans are in heavy demand at the Community Garden on the Hill, as well as at our other locations at Homestead & Solace Apartments and at the Community Farm!
They are sturdy and designed to balance when full, making them easy to cary - and 3 gal capacity = less trips to and from the spigot!

If you have gently used XL watering cans you're wanting to donate, or would like to see the other items we are in need of, follow the link below to our website:

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!!
Especially when that dream is no more w**ds at the Community Farm!!

Weeding may seem laborious, but it's essential to ensuring our lil veggies have the space they need to grow, and not to mention, more people = more hands = less w**ds!

**And** if you're feeling a little stressed, it always helps to picture what's stressing you out as the w**d - then it's much more enjoyable to tear it out of the ground and toss it in the compost!!

FREE Dinner is included!
No Experience Necessary!!
All Are Welcome!!

Preregistration is not required, but appreciated, so we can get a rough head count for dinner prep!
