growing good food, together
Spring is finally here! The Acadia Community Farm is excited to extend a warm welcome to another season of growing organic produce and hosting over 40 community gardeners.
It is not too late to sign-up to for a garden plot of your own, or be a volunteer for us! No prior experience is necessary, just a positive attitude and an eagerness to learn.
Contact Sarah at Sarah@acadiafarm.org to sign-up or find out more information.
We are very fortunate to have the Nutrition Education and Sustainable Food Systems classes integrated into what we do at the farm. Over the months of September and October the students volunteer their time as part of a service learning project. They come to us with a wealth of knowledge and great attitudes; eager to work and learn about how the Acadia Farm operates.
With their help over the past month we have been able to harvest over 150 pounds of food! We can’t wait to see what we can accomplish in October!
Welcome back new and returning Acadia Students! We are excited to have you back on campus and hope you come down to visit us at the Acadia Community Farm. Look for us at Club Extravaganza night from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm this Tuesday, September 11th in the Acadia Students’ Union Building. Here we will be able to talk with you about the farm and how you can sign-up to get involved.
Due to current and forecasted thunder showers the volunteer shift scheduled for today July 26th has been cancelled.
With temperatures in the 30’s it is important that you work smart in the heat. If you need to do work outside we suggest early morning or late evening. Make sure to wear a hat, sun screen, drink plenty of water and take frequent breaks in the shade.
Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
