If you’re interested in having a weekly share of fresh produce, this month is the last opportunity to get the early bird pricing. After that, the prices goes up from $288 to $320 not including delivery which would add $2 per week. Sign up on our membership page.

We’re going to be doing the rest of the tilling for the pilot project this weekend. We need some volunteers who don’t mind getting out and sweating in the heat with us. We’ll go for as long as we can Saturday and possibly Sunday too depending on how it goes which leads me to the final point…

Does anyone know about a rototiller or lawn tractor with tiller attachment? We’re tilling by hand and wearing our volunteers out a little faster than we’d like. We could probably knock out the rest of the tilling in a couple of hours with something like that.

We’ll also have some less physically demanding opportunities in the next couple of weeks too if anyone wants to help but not till. We’ll need all the help we can get to make sure we get our seeds in the ground in time for the next season.
