I'd like to buy some tractor seeds
Today more seeds went in in our little green house and some tiny snapdragons poked their heads out of the potting soil. Later Adrienne and Michelle wrangled with the tractor. If only we could grow our own replacement parts!
Job Opening With Red Wiggler!
Dear All,
One of our Growers' well-loved job coaches is retiring, and now the ARC of Montgomery County http://www.arcmontmd.org searching for someone to fill her big shoes.
The job coach would provide employment support to a small crew of adults with developmental disabilities who are employed with Red Wiggler Community Farm. Though the job coach would be hired and employed by the ARC, he or she would spend the majority of each work day here on Red Wiggler Community Farm.
The full job description can be found on Idealist:
We hope that you'll take a look at the position description and send it to your friends who share a love of farming, the great outdoors, and serving adults with developmental disabilities.

"Greenhouse" up and running
We put together our "greenhouse" yesterday and will start planting on Monday. We'll start with the plants that take the most time and care: celeriac and numerous flowers. Soon, we'll begin working the ground outside to plant onions, peas, and potatoes. Spring is a-coming!

2009 CSA Lottery Complete
We held our 2009 CSA lottery yesterday. There were 44 applications for 34 spots. As I write this Adrienne is contacting the lucky 34 lottery winners. Last season we had an 89% return rate from 2008 to 2009. We are excited this year to have 2 new acres open up for expansion. And so today we welcome 24 new CSA members. We are grateful for the strong demand for our program and are hopeful that the lottery system has been a fair way to deal with the high demand for CSA at Red Wiggler. If you have any observations or comments please post them on this blog. Or please email me at woody@redwiggler.org or contact Adreinne@redwiggler.org Again- thanks to each of you who are showing such interest in our farm program. Sincerely, Woody Woodroof, Director
