littleGRASSE FOODWORKS: all the leaves are brown (and unbagged!)

our scoop

Little Grasse is a garden project that feeds Canton area residents. Our CSA (community supported agriculture), encourages a meaningful connection with the foods you consume daily. This naturally grown food will be distributed weekly via an interactive share. Conveniently located a mile from downtown, we require member involvement in the garden during the growing season. Our base share is vegetables, but we also offer additional shares of meat (pork, chicken, lamb), and a sampler of various preserved foods. We welcome all people genuinely interested in gaining more knowledge of food issues and gardening skills.

This CSA project offers shareholders the experience of sharing in the bounty and risk of our efforts in and out of the garden. As members you are investing in the planting material (seeds, plants…), and if you opt for the livestock share, you’re investing in the animals that we raise.

all the leaves are brown (and unbagged!)

What do you get when you mix 1,000 bags of leaves and 17 nordic skiiers?

DAMN fast leaf unbagging!

All- time records were broken here at littleGrasse this past Saturday morning when SLU athletes enthusiastically tackled our mountain of leaves from last fall. About 10 dump truck loads worth.

(Admit it, you thought it would take longer!)

The task was knocked off right quick, and we enjoyed a mid-morning snacking.
