Say hello to your new compost bin! The compost committee built a brand new 3-bin compost system. Come check it out! Community compost drop off on Saturdays 11-12.

For the month of June, we’re trying out a meditation hour at the farm! Saturdays, 10-11 am (just before the compost drop-off hour) Come at any point during the hour. We’ll sit at our table area up the hill, you can also bring a cushion or blanket to sit on the ground if you prefer. The sessions will be led by Bess.

Pulled out last fall's broccoli rabe that went to seed...saving some for next fall and made bouquets...with chive blossoms and Virgina bluebells. Harvested radish, too. Summer is on us!! #communitygarden

We had an awesome #gardensnail collector at the farm yesterday, thanks to a neighbor having a kids music recital in their driveway. #lovethyneighbor #communitygarden

First harvest of the season in the rain! Radishes, arugula, spinach and red lettuce (and carrot tops for the bunny) #springharvest #communitygarden

Help us fortify Prospect Farm! Our #communitygarden is set on a steep hill and we make use of our space by terracing. We have built our walls with stones found on the land and bamboo. But these constructions are highly susceptible to erosion and need to be rebuilt every year. Our infrastructure committee did some research and built a sample gabion — a wall built with metal mesh, wire, and stone. We now want to raise money for the supplies to replace as many of our walls as possible with these sturdier options. Follow the link in our bio to contribute to this fund!
