Hey all,

Look for us walking through campus to the Food Bank and spending some time on the Quad around 3-30 pm handing out free salad, greens and maybe a couple cauliflowers if you catch us on the early end. :)

[TheUWfarm] No produce stand, Free Farm Food Walk instead!

Turns out we can't set up to sell our food, so we'll do a big harvest and walk it through campus to the food bank, giving away free produce as we go! We'll meet at the Farm at 2 pm and plan on getting to the University District Food Bank on 50th and the Ave around 4:30-5.

Look for us on campus and get some....

- Salad
- Mustard Greens
- Kale
- Chois (like Boc)
- Etc....

[TheUWfarm] Friday Work Party at new space!

All hands on deck this Friday to move the rest of the current compost pile into our new field!! The folks at the Center for Urban Horticulture want it out of sight, out of mind.

From 9 am - 12 pm this Friday we'll be moving and shaking. We'll have some snacks and water - bring a water bottle and snacks to share if you have 'em. And probably sunscreen.

Directions to new space: http://students.washington.edu/uwfarm/about/getting-to-our-new-space/

Best,
