But enough about me, you're here to learn about our awesome student-run (uncertified) organic farm! WLSF is on 2 acres of land at the edge of Tuttle Creek State Park. With the help of my amazing interns -- Isabel, Darren, Alice, and John (a.k.a. the minions) -- as well as the guidance of Dr. Rhonda Janke, we manage around 50 5 x 100 foot beds that are currently producing a bounty of summer delights: kale, chard, garlic, tomatoes, squash, zucchini, okra, peppers, corn, etc. But my favorite is...
BERRIES! We have a good many blackberry, raspberry, and black raspberry (why yes, there is a difference) bushes that have just started producing. Needless to say, these are fun to pick because of all the snacking we get away with!Here are a few photos from around the farm:

If you're curious about what's happening at the farm, you're in the right place! If you have any questions concerning our CSA or markets, shoot me an e-mail at welthow1020@gmail.com. Thanks for stopping by!
Hey that's the same tractor that was at the old Hort Research Farm in the Ashland Bottoms.
ReplyDeleteI preferred the International which was "offset" so that when one went over a row you could see the plants off to your right. This is me on it probably 91': http://kdcomm.net/~tomato/graphics/me.jpg
