We will be assembling at Camden grange this coming Tuesday evening (13 August) for a tour of Vista Haven Farm. We will depart Camden grange at 7 p.m. for the short drive to Kim McCay's farm, which features: 11 acres of hay fields, 1 1/2 acres of organic garden including a fruit orchard, asparagus beds, berry patch (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries), and cut flower raised beds. Future farm improvements include 1/2 acre of baby vegetables and salad mixes, caterpillar tunnels, a large greenhouse, and high tunnels.
This will be our last tour of the summer, and you will want to bring along your cellphone (camera) and notebook/pencil, as Kim has a lot going on, and you will have a LOT of questions for her - she is very knowledgeable on the subject of small farms, u-pick operations, and gardening in general.
Next month, club member Marlene Routt has offered to show us how to make those amazing concrete rhubarb leaf garden decorations/planters. Might be an outdoor class, might be indoors, depending on the weather.
See you Tuesday evening,
Jim
