Finally there was a break in the rain and we were able to deliver our first harvest to @Acadia_Dining at Wheelock Hall. Chef Peter received 8 lbs. of organic garlic scapes today delivered by Farmer Sophie using our awesome bike trailer!

And so the student becomes the teacher! Last month our past Student Farm Coordinator, Sarah Boudreau, who graduated from @AUSchoolofEd in 2020 and is now a teacher, led the annual Gardening 101 workshop for new student and community gardeners. Lovely to have you back, Sarah!
