Little Sprouts Work Day Becomes a Huge Success

Yesterday was the first Little Sprouts Invitational Work Day. We got a lot done and everyone seemed to enjoy the day and the time together. Even though we limited participation to only 6 individuals yesterday, the small team actually accomplish just about everything that was on the agenda before day end!

We wish to express special thanks to the team:

The projects accomplished include:

Install fencing to divide the buck goat stalls
Install fencing to contain the ducks inside the orchard area
Gather, test, repair all the irrigation water hoses
Weed the emerging beet / sauerkraut garden
Install / repair the watering systems for the fruit trees and blueberries
Install a watering system in the main produce garden

Install additional lighting in the baby bird brooder
Clean the uninhabited bee hives and harvest propolis
