We are pleased to announce the arrival of our first bee hive at the Acadia Farm. The hive will be used for teaching and research in partnership with the Acadia Beekeeping Club and the Department of Biology. Under the direction of Dr. Dave Shutler and Dr. Kirk Hillier and local beekeepers Kevin Spicer and Perry Brandt, students will learn about the role of bees in agriculture and investigate integrated pest management techniques. Stop by the farm to welcome our newest campus residents and learn about bees!
Wednesday night volunteer work parties will begin on Wednesday June 14th and will run from 6-8pm. Join us at the Acadia Community Farm for an hour or even two! Sessions will run every Wednesday evening until August 30th.
Anyone who is interested in volunteering with the Acadia Community Farm is encouraged to drop in and get their hands dirty!
Volunteering at the farm includes, but is not limited to: Prepping land, planting, weeding, watering, harvesting, organizing workshops and helping running events.
I look forward to seeing new and returning faces. The farm would not be able to run without all of your hard work and dedication!
