Highlights this week in Sustainability
It was great to see so many of you stroll over to the Knox farm last Friday to share in the final harvests for the season! We had more than 50 people join us and shared over 100lbs of locally grown produce!
Some of you shared stories of how your gardens thrived this year with some of the Knox farm seedlings that we gave away in Spring. Others expressed interest in hearing about all the recipes people create with Knox farm produce. Let us know if you would like to get more involved with the Knox farm in fun and creative ways.
