September at Baroona Farm
Dear friends of Baroona Farm,
It has been a busy lead up to Spring at Baroona Farm with lots of new shoots emerging in many varied ways! Significant achievements include the start of stage 2 of garden bed developments which includes the installation of 18 new beds, nearly all the chickens are laying and thanks to some of our volunteers we have some wonderful tomato seedlings for sale! Check out the photos below or follow us on Instagram and, if you are able, we would love to see you at one of our working bees.
Lastly, a massive thank you to everyone who has given to this project in the last month, either financially or in time, everything counts in growing Baroona Farm and the vision for it.
Peace,
Samuel
The last of our spring onions were harvested and sent off to the Romero Center for distribution.
It is always a treat to discover freshly laid eggs in the chicken coop each day! Eggs are available for purchase at $5 a dozen - get in touch if you would like to buy some!
The building of 18 new garden beds begins! IBC tanks ready to be cut in half.
