Simple Gifts will be raising the barn for their new farmstand on Saturday! Come and see the lock-n-log pieces go up together into a beautiful new structure. They will be serving hot dogs, french fries, and maybe parsnip fries (we are still trying to figure out some details about making parsnip fries). There will be salad greens and other farm produce for sale, and it would be an excellent time to sign up for a farm share or a market card! |

The GARDEN Project 2017 is a partnership among Greenfield Community College, Montague Catholic Social Ministries, NELCWIT, and Seeds of Solidarity through a grant from the Women's Fund of WMass. Instructors of the four courses that comprise the program seek to create an engaging, inclusive setting with trauma-informed teaching. This is the 3rd year of this successful program and it will be located in Orange Center, so North Quabbin women are especially encouraged, but feel free to share with women throughout Franklin County. Women must take all four courses- these form the whole experience. Women who complete the program are then eligible for a free Serv-Safe course in Spanish or English! |
