MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 14/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
This past week our crew welcomed four very shiny new interns into our midst, marking the start of our 7-month farm internship program and ‘main’ growing season of farming. These intrepid folks come from all over the country and possess a variety of backgrounds and experiences. They give us a huge boost of fresh energy and enthusiasm right when we need it, and we’re incredibly lucky to have them! Over the following months, we’ll teach them everything we can about farming and the art of growing good vegetables, and in the process, they’ll shape the year into something wholly new. This week, with their help, we were able to plant acres of onions, potatoes, tomatoes, and spring brassicas, build two of our massive high tunnels, graft tomatoes, and get a monumental amount of clearing and fieldwork done. Cheers to many hands and new beginnings!
