Special Thanks to Firefly Fields who will be bringing animals each week and Pie in the Sky Berry Farm for hosting us. Super special Thanks to Front Yard Farm for the amazing plants!

We will plant based on the First Nations Traditon:

The foundational crops of tribal agriculture were commonly referred to as the Three Sisters: maize (corn), climbing beans and squash. These crops had a symbiotic relationship during the growing process. The maize provides a structure for the beans to climb. The beans provide nitrogen to the soil for the others. The squash leaves act as a living mulch, acting to preventing the growth of weeds and retaining moisture in the soil. The prickly hairs of the squash vines deterred pests. To read more please visit:
