Exciting plans are afoot! We are designing and raising funds for a sturdy, permanent and easy on the eyes in-ground greenhouse. Construction will begin in the late summer and completed by the fall.
This multipurpose space will greatly improve our CSA's security in food production. Uses include:
1. Starting our own seedlings in the spring on site (instead of contracting out with others or using a satellite greenhouse)
2. Extending the harvest season by enabling us to reliably grow hardy greens into the early winter, as well as in the early spring.
3. Indoor space for hot crops like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant to hedge against cool short summers

There is no admission fee. They'll be a tent for the music (multiple acts featuring shareholders!) and we'll fill the barn with tasty potluck treats. The event also marks the beginning of our online crowd funding effort so folks who want to contribute to the greenhouse construction can do so in person during the party or on the web.
let the sunshine in...
