Greener Partners in the news!

Serious April showers didn't stop our farmers from planting the first seedlings of the year at opening day of the Hillside Farm at Elwyn.

Our head farmer Ben Weiss lead the way in the mud to plant crops of onion, spinach and kohlrabi for our 2009 CSA. And the wet work paid off! Aside from planting the crops that will give way to delicious produce before long, the rainy-day activity drew the attention of The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Delaware County Daily Times. Always exciting to see our partner farms in the press!

Spring has Sprung!

Oh my! Today has been SUCH a beautiful day...I am feeling a bit ansty to be outside but there will be plenty of time for that this summer with our camps and of course with helping out on the farms. I was able to snap some photos from the car this morning to document these first sunny blooms of 2009.

All Greener Partners' farms and garden sites are in MAJOR start mode...things are crazy busy. Our CSAs are filling up quickly and our seeds are sprouting in the greenhouse. All of the GP team members have been attending multiple workshops, meetings and conferences on subjects ranging from permaculture to local foods to social justice. There is SO MUCH movement in the Greater Philadelphia region on all of these amazing topics...it makes my heart soooaaar! Needless to say, with all of this 'movement' there is also much to get done. Office work, field work, attending events...all with a smile and an eye on a bright future. We are all SO excited!

Happy Full Moon!
