The Weavers Way Farm is a great example of a productive community effort for healthy, local, and organic food. As for The Crefeld School, we visit the farm every Wednesday as a community service program in an effort to help the farm and the fellow co-op workers. The farm has many various needs, despite its modest size, and we are happy to facilitate a positive result, healthy local food. Some of the work involves typical farm work, plowing, mulching, harvesting, composting, so on and so forth. It is not only a good way to get your hands dirty during school, but it is a great way to make a difference. A large amount of the harvest is given to a nearby homeless shelter, thus not only making the work profitable in the sense of healthy consumption, but in moral value. I enjoy helping the farm in its respectable goal, and will continue to do so.

Another year at the farm! It's great to be back at a familiar place and doing familiar things with familiar people. So far it's been tons of fun and I know that it will stay that way if not get even better. As if to greet me the farm gave us the first job of harvesting (and eating) tomatoes. However there were not that many because a bad mold had started to kill them off. That added with the fast approaching winter cut the harvesting season short. Now we only get to pull up dead plants and spread leaf mulch. That is fun too but I would rather do work that's less dirty and more enjoyable and farm-like. Farms grow things not pull them up and throw them away. Still all this work is to prepare for another year of fun. A year that I can't wait to get on with.
