Farming 101 @ Eastside Crossing

On September 15th we hosted our first Farming 101 class. Our goal was to give our residents the confidence to work in the garden without the support of myself, the farm manager. For many, farms can be intimidating if you have never grown your own food. We planted, talked about when vegetables were ready to harvest, what bugs to look out for, and then got our hands dirty planting our fall crops. We will be hosting these classes the third Saturday of the month to inspire and educate our residents! 

What we planted: 

Shelling Peas

Sugar Snap Peas

Salad Turnips

Beets 

​Lettuce
