F*&# Chickens, Get Eggs: Long Lane Farm Interest Meeting

From Hilary “Up-and-Coming Hammer Power House” Brumberg ’17:

Do you think weeding is the most relaxing de-stresser ever? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to pet a chicken but was unsure of the right technique? Do you want to be physically active in these snowy winter months?

Ever wanted to farm & learn about crops in an informal setting? Maybe you want to get your hands dirty ;)

Whatever the appeal is, we want to see your face (and the rest of your body) at 41 Wyllys room 110 at 4:30 on Sunday for a brief interest meeting.

Come with questions or smiles and you will be rewarding with answers AND…smiles :D

Long Lang Hoop House Extravaganza!

Last spring Eva “Bubbe” Steinberg ’17 made me a mixed CD composed of only farm-related songs. Now she’s asking you to come help Long Lane Farm move their hoop houses this Saturday 11/1. Just remember that rain makes corn and corn makes whiskey! There will be snacks, but probably not of the whiskey variety. Here are the actual facts:

This Saturday, join your favorite local student-farmers as we take on the hoop houses!! These massive structures keep our veggies nice and cozy, but they aren’t in the right place! Help us with this task, and feel as warm and happy and good as our wee lil greens will in their new homes! Snacks will be provided!

Place: Long Lane Farm (near the rugby fields)
