We will be helping out the Sörestad Farm with major end of season farm chores which will be garden and greenhouse clean up. Resetting the most productive and versatile growing spaces on a farm makes a farmer's spring so much more enjoyable by reducing unneeded organic material, microbes, and stress in those areas to make for an open invitation to the sprouting season. This a great opportunity for folks who want to support local food systems and appreciate hands-on projects. This is family friendly event, lunch will be provided and it will happen rain or shine since we will have the cover of the greenhouse!

"Sörestad is Julie and Bill's farm in Clover Valley, between Duluth and Two Harbors, MN. We are passionate about growing excellent food for our community, and caring for the land which cares for us. We bought this old farmstead in 2020 and are restoring its soil, ecology, and structures so that it may produce abundantly, provide habitat for all sorts of creatures, and be a meeting place for neighbors and friends. And of course we grow everything without any chemicals!"
