Community Work Days at Growing Lots Urban Farm!

Greetings to all friends and family of Growing Lots Urban Farm…!

Oh what a beautiful late summer day… we have certainly been blessed with some nice weather of late, yes?  Well, we certainly wish we would get at least a day of good rain, we are getting a bit tired of watering!!
As some of you already know Growing Lots is on the move once more… ! Ironically enough we are moving back down the block to the site we came from earlier this year… yep, we are indeed feeling a bit like yo-yo’s. However, the move was necessary, and now we will have an expanded site available, a building with electricity (we know! watch out here we come 🙂 , and at least a 3-4 years of stability. wheeew!
Growing Lots will be holding 2 work days for friends, family and community members to come help move the farm. We will have lots of jobs, and many hands make fun work, yes? Drop us an email (growinglots@gmail.com) for more information!!  Please pass this along to anyone who would love the opportunity to come lend a hand.. 🙂
