OUr First Day of Work

Torrential rains on Sunday day and night (and continuing all day on Monday) drenched the farm, but did not dampen our spirits or deter our labors. The weather did cause a slight delay in us beginning our work first thing in the morning, but we made good use of our time by watching a permaculture design video. Koinonians just hosted a permaculture design course in mid-February and are in the process of implementing many of the principles here on the farm. Some of our work this week will help them do so.



Many students worked outdoors planting blueberry bushes, and placing cardboard, compost and mulch around fruit trees . . .



. . . while others worked indoors glazing mugs in the ceramics studio.



The sun is supposed to come out on Tuesday!
