Learn & Work Project This Saturday, 10:30-12:00

valerie — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:46:57 +0000

At LexFarm’s Goat Yard, we are embarking on a project to revitalize the soil to promote carbon holding and growth of forage material (such as clover) for the goats. This winter we plan to rearrange the Goat Yard to make room for three growing paddocks – and plant bushes such as forsythia around the fence-line as well.

We hope you will join us for this Saturday’s Learn & Work Project, 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Together, we will jumpstart the revitalization effort by moving the goats’ large climbing structure closer to the barn and aerating the soil in the areas that will become the growing paddocks.

What: Learn & Work Project
When: Saturday, January 14, 10:30-12:00
Where: LexFarm Goat Yard (park at Busa Farm and walk back to red barn)
Cost: Free!
Bring: Digging forks (pitchforks) or shovels if you have them

Amazing Support for LexFarm

Wow. After last night’s forum, there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind about what citizens think the Town of Lexington should use the Busa Farm property for…The Lexington Community Farm !!!
The turnout was amazing. Thank You for showing up and speaking up.
It was like no public hearing I’ve ever attended - an incredible night full of passion and vision (and a song from a 5th-grader!) and a real sense of community. We are definitely re-energized for the work ahead and hope everyone will join the effort. Please sign up for our weekly update to stay informed! Thanks again.

Thanks to everyone who came out to Flatbreads in Bedford last night to support LexFarm. Also, special thanks to folks at Flatbreads for hosting our event and donating a portion of the proceeds to our cause. We had a great turn out of people and everyone ate very well. There are 5 raffle winners who will be contacted by phone soon.
