This years wheat harvest begins Sunday, June 19rd at 4 p.m till sundown

Hello everyone, I'd like to invite you to take part in Tim Coughenours
annual small scale wheat harvest. This is a chance for you to see
traditional human scale grain raising techniques in practice. Tim Coughenour has
been growing 95% + of his own food for many years. he also lives
entirely without fossil fuel inputs (electricity, natural gas, city
water, automobiles).  Tims farm/garden is located at the second to last driveway on the north side of the street of the 800 block of Oak street in North Lawrence. There is
a small sign that reads "produce for sale". follow the driveway north to the white pole barn.
  Wheat harvest can take as long as 3 consecutive afternoons and evenings or as little as one. Work starts at 4pm and goes till sundown. work consists of cutting wheat heads with a hand sickles and transporting it to a barn while others thresh with flails on threshing floors.  There is plenty of
work for kids too. If you wish to participate you will need to bring
all the water you need to drink as there is no water at this site. A
snack would be good.   ideally you should have a longs sleeves white
shirt, a handkerchief or dust mask, shoes not sandals, and perhaps
long pants. if you have a hand sickle(think Soviet flag)bring that
too. Riding your bike will be appreciated. if you park a car please do
so on the north side of Oak st.
