There will be a big work party at the farm on February 27, 2010 from 10 - 2 p.m. to help prepare our new greenhouse for the season. Please come dressed for the weather: boots, raingear, hat, sunscreen... and bring a lunch to share. Work parties usually take place on Wednesdays from 1 - 3 and every second Saturday of the month from 10 until 2. This is a fantastic way to share community and to learn about organic growing from experienced farmers. Please watch this space for further work party updates or call the farm at 250 658 0758 to leave a message.
