The Little River Market Garden is expanding production space in order to grow more food for South Florida! Over the next few weeks we’ll be working on the initial phase of transformation from overgrown weeds, logs and rocks to soil building, mulching and eventually a fertile garden.
Next week, April 2nd through the 8th, we are renting a bobcat and will need all the hands we can get on deck. There will be plenty of work over the month of April as well. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in volunteering on the farm, contact us so we can make arrangements based on your interests and capabilities as well as our projects and schedule.
There is nothing quite as satisfying as the making of a garden!
Before/After
This photograph was taken in the very early stages of converting one of our fields into a garden. The key hole garden in the foreground went in over a tree stump and marked the South East corner of the whole field.
By the Fall that same field was in full swing, producing eggplant, greens, radishes and heirloom tomatoes.
