Happy New Year from The Neighborhood Farm!
We are planning for next season. I have a table covered with seed
catalogs which are plastered with dozens and dozens of post it
notes. This is the time of year when growing anything and
everything seems possible. The realities of limited time and space
haven't intruded yet. I am making a dream list which I will narrow
down over the next few weeks. If you want to do some dreaming
yourself, check out Fedco seeds for the fantastic descriptions and
Johnny's seeds for the beautiful photographs. If you would like to
request that we grow a particular vegetable or variety of vegetable,
please email me and let me know. I'll try to work it into the mix.
We are involved with the
Needham
Community Farm project. We support all projects to bring more
local food production and agricultural education to our area, but we
think this project is particularly worthy. The Needham Community
Farm is a nonprofit organization with a mission to bring an
educational organic farm to Needham. The farm would be similar to
the ones in Natick and Newton. If you are a Needham resident, we
are asking you to sign an online petition to support the use of the
NIKE site for a community farm. For more information, visit
www.needhamfarm.org/nike.html.
Another welcome addition to town is the Green Needham
Collaborative. This organization is working on a number of
environmental initiatives. More information is available at their
website

We wish you all a happy and healthy new year!
