We were fortunate to also welcome students other than ours the past month from the Therapeutics of Farm Work class at Eckerd College taught by Professor Nicole Teich. The group consisted of 20 students that came out to volunteer and work side-by-side with our Ambassadors 3 days every week in January. They added so much to the farm throughout their time with us.
So many others have made an impact this month too. Our 3rd Annual MLK Day of Service was our most well-attended to date (over a hundred volunteers) in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to support our efforts at the farm. Volunteers helped build our final four beds (with 20 total beds done so far), plant in our newly painted herb boxes and set up our third vermiculture tub. We, of course, did lots of mulching, painting, and dancing too!
Check out what else we have going on this year, and Come Grow With Us!
