The 2026-27 school year is underway!
We understand that attention is in high demand and time is relatively limited, so this year we’ll deliver bite-sized information to your inbox on a monthly basis.
Now is the time to…
… savor the last of the summer tomatoes ripening with the current heatwave.
… sow cover crops and garlic before the fall weather kicks in.
… wait until the equinox to put lettuce seedlings in the ground.
It’s been a few years since we’ve gathered, so we’re looking forward to hosting an event in the spring.
We look forward to seeing (or hearing from) you soon!
