Busy weekend!

Monday, May 21st, 2012
The farm keeps coming right along folks…we’re up to 40 lbs donated from Dog Head Farms so far (starting from a kudzu covered field 3 months ago), and at about 30 lbs. of mulberries and serviceberries donated so far (despite the weird winter/fruit season, and at what would normally be the second week of the picking season).

We also rescued several fruit trees from the Kipp Strive Academy in West Atlanta before they start a big renovation project. We got:

  • 8 serviceberries
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 3 plums
  • 1 pawpaw

We planted 4 serviceberries and a plum at the farm, and sent the rest off to good homes.

We also got our first honey from the Dog Head Farms beehive — close to 10 lbs! We’ll also be getting a lot more soon…there were many frames of not quite capped honey.

And finally, Fred Conrad of the Atlanta Community Food Bank was kind enough to come out and plow at the farm, and we really need y’alls help with making beds this weekend. Come on out on Saturday!
