Please join us next Saturday, July 16th at 10am for an Open House at the Farm. Anyone is welcome -- family, friends, children, neighbors...pretty much anyone except your four-legged friends. We have been anxiously awaiting the time when we had our own property to welcome our members and their friends to our land to take a look at what it is Farmer Mike does all day and to see where (and how) your food grows.
We will be giving a tour of the Farm, so make sure to wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Hats are also nice to have, as is an ample coating of bug spray and sunscreen.
Directly across the street from the Farm is a County Park, Black Hill Regional Park, which we encourage you to explore as well, since you'll be making the trip out. They rent canoes and kayaks for those of you who enjoy being on the water.

If you plan on attending the Open House, please email michael@1acrefarm.com for directions. If we find that there is a lot of interest but most people will be unable to attend, we may have to reschedule...so, let us know whether you plan on attending, so we can be sure to keep you updated on the Open House!
Your share this week will probably include: Squash, Potatoes (yippee!), Onions, Fennel, Basil (Lemon and Regular varieties), Chard and some combination of Eggplant, Hot Peppers or Okra.
We hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far and we look forward to seeing you on the 16th!
Until next time...
