We have our first intern. Karen has professional experience as an environmental scientist and planner in Buffalo and the Boston area. She is currently working to complete a Phase I environmental analysis of the farm property. Thanks Karen!
Thanks to everyone who came out to the last work day. We had 15 people show up and we removed 3 tons of rubble in about 2 hours. Phenomenal!!
I hope spring fever is catching. I know I have got it bad. We are getting things ready for the season. We will be planting about a quarter-acre this year and working to clear and maintain the rest of the property. Starting this Saturday, April 12th, we will be working every Saturday beginning at 9am. On May 3rd we will plant 40+ street trees around the entire block in collaboration with Re-Tree WNY's spring planting.
We need a chipper for mulching the many dying trees and the overgrowth that needs to be cleared for crop beds. If you have a chipper that you can lend to the project please contact me via email (rod@queencityfarm.org) or phone (207-9327).
This weekend. Wear boots and bring gloves if you have them. We need to pick up trash and move tree branches for making some beds.
