Next year!

9/16/2010

 
The summer season and work schedule has ended, but interest in the farm has not waned! Last weekend, Dan Flerlage attended a meeting to vouch for next year's farm.  At this point, things are looking very good!  Everyone is on board - LACS and Southside, the Waldorf School, the folks at Sustainable Tompkins - for continuing this project next year!
 
LACS classes have started up again, and it's clear that LACS student interest in the farm is stronger than ever.  In addition to the new crew of Localvores, there are two  "project" groups - a total of twenty students - that will be working on the farm on Thursday mornings and Tuesday afternoons.

Planting has begun!
