We haven't had a big response for our morning workdays, so we are moving the times. Monday and Wednesday morning's workdays will be moved to Monday and Wednesday evening 5-9pm, at Smith and Fay.
Also, the Monday and Wednesday Farmers Market doesn't seem to be the best use of our time. SO, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we will have vegetables for sale at our roadside stand at the Smith and Fay production farm, from 4-8pm. This way, we can be working, not sitting, during our sales hours. If this is at all confusing, just check out our calendar, for times, dates and locations.
ALSO, WE'VE GOT BEES!! Art and Vera Gelder from Walk-About Acres (www.walk-aboutacres.net) have provided our Smith and Fay farm, with the pollination of two hives of honey bees. Honey bees are an excellent addition to a diverse farm ecosystem. The bees will improve produce yields and if all goes right, make some sweet, sweet honey. Thanks Art and Vera!

Veggies for Sale, Workday Schedule Change, Food Preservation Workshop, and Farm2Table
Howdy,
Good news! We have city-grown vegetables for sale to the public. All sales will benefit our not-for-profit organization, dedicated to demonstrating the viability of urban food production and educating the public on successful urban farming techniques.
You can find us selling at:
Columbia Farmers Market (1701 W Ash, behind the ARC) on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-6pm
Our Smith and Fay Production Farm (1209 E Smith St) on Fridays from 5-8pm.
Right now we've got peas, broccoli, cauliflower, greens, onions, and lots of herbs, stop by and see us!
Our Saturday evening workday is being changed to Friday evening, starting this week. Many hands make light work, so come out to one of our workdays, there is plenty of weeding, harvesting, shoveling, mowing, trellising, planting, seeding, watering, the list goes on....but I think you get the point. Check out our website's calendar for the full workday schedule, remember to bring close-toed shoes, gloves, hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle.
Also check out the calendar for three food preservation workshops this month put on by the University Extension office.
The Farm2Table event next weekend is where national, regional and local chefs, farmers and experts will be promoting the culinary and farm-to-table collaboration, see their website for more information http://www.f2tuclubmissouri.com/
Keep on eatin!
