Green under the Sun

Last Friday I was driving to Alemany Farm to volunteer there, mostly to harvest produce for the Free Farm Stand on Sunday. I was feeling pretty good, the sun was out, the greenhouse at the All in Common Garden was almost done, and I had …

Announcements

The Free Farm Stand will be remain open during this time of “shelter in place”. We will be pre-bagging the produce and start handing out bags at noon and encouraging guests not to hang around. Since the park is closed we are across the street on Treat Ave. and 23rd St. in the parking lot of the Little Giant Lighting Company on 3050B 23rd Street (entrance and parking lot on Treat Ave.). It goes really fast now, so get there when we start, because by 12:30 it may be gone.

Right now we are limiting the number of volunteers since we want everyone to be safely 6 feet apart, but if you want to help in the future please contact us to be on a list. Also, we are a unique program and try to distribute fresh, locally grown organic produce if possible. If you can help with that, like if you garden and can grow extra produce or flowers for the Stand or know of fruit trees that can be gleaned let us know. We often give out starts and we can help if you want to garden with advice and other resources. Just contact Tree.

Finally, since we are pre-bagging produce we are in need of 13 gallon size plastic bags (unscented) and/or large brown bags. Also, disposable gloves are also needed. Thanks
