Hey Farmers and Farm Fans, 

A few news items for the week: 

Farm Ed: Taught by professor Ruesink at 8:30am each Thursday. Join us this week for Plant Families!: another way to look at what's on the farm in terms of crops and weeds. As usual, this will be followed by work at the farm (until 11am).

New Volunteer Hours: CUH hours are MWF 2-4pm; Mercer hours are Tues 2-4pm; Botany Greenhouse Hours are Thurs 8:30-11am

Harvest Help!: We could use some extra hands to harvest at CUH on Wednesday from 2-4. Harvesting is so funnnnn (plus, you get to take some veggies home:)).

Environmental Innovation Challenge: If you're into business / prototyping / food and the environment, and would be interested in helping the UW Farm make a prototype to enter in the Environmental Innovation Challenge, let us know this week! (email Sarah at sgeurk@uw.edu)

Carlson Center Food Security Internship: the Carlson Center is working on an incredible project assessing issues of food security and accessibility on campus. More details in the attached document. Applications due Tuesday, December 3 at 12am!

Next Work Party: Saturday, November 23, 9am-2pm location TBD.

Please feel free to call or email me (Sarah) if you have any questions about opportunities at the UW Farm.
