Notes from the Farm

Farm Tour – ARTFARM

Flower

Join us on Saturday, July 22nd from 10 am to 3 pm for the 17th Annual Farm Tour and Harvest Sale.

ARTFARM is a multimedia celebration of arts in nature for people of all ages- music, dance, puppetry, visual arts, environmental sculpture/installations and more organized by Mary Ann Ross and Ric Wagner of Concerts In The Country.

Additionally, the University of Marylands Solar Decathlon Team will be on hand to answer questions about our Solar House and the upcoming 2007 Solar Decathlon sponsored by DOE.

We will be selling in-season vegetables from our garden. Board members, staff and volunteers will be answering questions about our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, our service learning activities and our employment program for adults with developmental disabilities. We are also excited about our construction project which is currently in the permitting phase. Our new straw bale building will use far less energy to heat and cool the building than your average home or office being built today.

There are 12 other farms on the tour that you can visit too. For more info on the County Wide tour- where there is a brochure with descriptions and location maps for each of the farms on the tour.

Please leave your companion animals at home unless you have a certified therapy dog.
