New Urban Farming Project Needs Signups and Volunteers!
Neighborhood Farm Initiative is going to be teaching hands-on classes covering all aspects of organic veggie gardening, and running a sizeable CSG demonstration garden. A CSG is a Community Supported Garden (like a CSA only a smaller scale). NFI is looking for folks to sign up! The way it works is you make a donation to the farm now in the spring, and then throughout the season you'll receive a bag of organic veggies each week.
We also need volunteers, both weekdays and weekends throughout the season-- please email if you want more info on volunteering, the classes, the CSG, or just want to join our mailing list!
And we also have a blog: neighborhoodfarm.blogspot.com
And a website: neighborhoodfarm.110mb.com
