This last stretch of the semester holds some big changes!As we ring in the holiday season we are also ringing in the new seedlings we've been planting to ready ourselves for winter. The cereal rye in our group beds are starting to grow and cover our farm with green. Rye is an excellent winter cover crop because it's deep roots provide support for our soil during some heavy rains and winds expected to come this season. In addition cereal rye can produce 10,000 pounds of dry crop in a single acre! Thats a whole lot'a nitrogen to add to our compost piles. Get ready compost groups!

In addition to planting winter crops we are starting the process of building our very own hoop house! During the winter the green house type of structure will provide a sanctuary for seeds and seedlings throughout the storms. When springtime rolls around we'll be ready to plant the first seedlings from our house!
