Wanna help Deb & Co. to harvest “our” garlic?

Due to weather difficulties, the farmers decided to act fast and will be harvesting the garlic NEXT SATURDAY, JULY 18, 11-2. Members are invited to come to the farm and give a hand.  You are instructed to bring your own picnic lunch, plenty of water to drink.  You will be working in the soil, so wear shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and a hat for the sun. In case of a postponement due to the weather  a notification will be posted on the farm website  under Upcoming Events (here: http://www.stoneledgefarmny.org/events/). Directions to the farm.  Deb says that the garlic is large and looks ready to go and hopefully there will be sunshine for the day.  Questions, e-mail Deb using this form.

There is some talk of carpooling as a group.  If you are interested, speak to one of the volunteers at your pick-up site, or email us at yorkvillecsa@gmail.com.
