Hey friends, I need some help at my new farming project this Sunday!
Come lend a hand with:
-mulching pathways
-prepping garden beds
-removing trash from the woods
-preparing to plant 90 trees (a little later in the autumn)
Please bring:
-work clothes, gloves, & boots
-a wheel barrow (if you have one)
-shovels, digging forks, & garden rakes (if you have them)
-water and lunch
-your kids
-more helpers!
About the farm:
Urban Edge Farm is located within the city limits of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in a forgotten neighborhood called Sunnyside. The farm has been granted Lancaster City’s first ever “Community Gardening” zoning variance.
The farm is located on a single parcel of land leased to Susquehanna Sustainable Enterprises by a friend, and is in the floodplain of the Conestoga River. We are currently pursuing lease agreements for several adjacent parcels along the river, most of which are covered in highly neglected woodland.
The focus of the farm is on agroforestry techniques, such as forest gardening with native riparian tree crops, edible and medicinal mushroom cultivation, biochar and compost production, beekeeping, experimentation with regenerative forestry techniques, as well as production of medicinal herbs for use by Susquehanna Apothecary.

A note on contacting me: Due to the overwhelming amount of communications I receive, I generally do not respond to any message that is not directly related to a class, design work, or other business transactions. I also feel that the current standard for "promptness" as an obligation to respond to electronic communications within a matter of hours is inconsistent with my values. So I reserve the right to take a few days to get back to you. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
