MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 2/52 of 2022
Dear Farm Members,
This week, we’ll tuck our first round of seeds into the soil and watch the dream of a new season roll slowly out in front of us. This is where it all starts! These tiny seedlings and the thousands that follow represent an abundance of food - sustenance from the humblest of beginnings. This moment also marks the maiden voyage of our shiny new greenhouse, which Jake and Cory have been slowly and steadily working to build over the past year. The new space, located at our Birchville farm site, holds three times the capacity of our old off-site greenhouse, and will provide a warmer, sunnier, safe haven for winter seedlings. It’s a big step up for the farm, and one of many improvements that has come with land security through the Forever Farms program and our lease with the Bear Yuba Land Trust. We are thrilled!
Enjoy your boxes this week, along with the amazing string of sunny days.
