Thanks @dickinsoncollege Orientation folks! We loved our time talking, weeding, and cooking with you!
Happy Birthday to our dear Virginia! You bring smiles and love to everything you do - and we are so grateful for you!
Just had a great time at @witfnews Radio Smart Talk with Scott Lamar talking about @leafprojectpa with @d_janai_16 and Sam Predmore. Huge shout out to Chef @kgwewer and @littlebird_egbc who gave the chef’s perspective. It was a blast! Catch the rebroadcast at 7pm tonight on witf 89.5
The LEAF Youth Leadership Team is enjoying a night at the ballpark - thanks M&T Bank!! Way to go, Senators!
Yesterday at LEAF, interns participated in a workshop about buying power and food choice. After going “grocery shopping” with their budget, they made their meals and got to eat alongside their peers who had different budgets. Some folks even had a restaurant experience with all the food purchased for them! The discussion that happened afterwards focused on who our food system serves and does not serve. A regular Thursday on the farm! #foodsystem #foodjustice #meaningfulmoments
Harvesting squash blossoms makes me remember that we’re harvesting sunshine - and rain, and dirt. We’re starting to dry out and crossing our fingers that our beloved tomatoes and squash plants can make it through the wet, muggy conditions without getting diseases. Wish us all luck!
How we feel about the never ending monsoon
Living close to the land has so many gifts and challenges- keep your local farmers in your minds, hearts, and choices as we all slog through this rainy stretch!
Sowing the first cover crop of the season and it feels good
The 2018 Summer season is up and running! 14 young people have already completed their first two weeks with LEAF, learning, cooking, and farming. Special thanks to season sponsors @papreferred and @agchoicefarmcredit ! #youthpowered #localfarms #papreferred
