Description

Plot = 20’Ft X 20’Ft = 400 SQ.FT.
Your Mini-Farm Will Start From Scratch and according to your host farm’s growing season and mini-farm type, i.e., bed prep, seeding/transplanting, growing period.

Harvests & CSA Delivery or other special type mini-farm processing will begin when any crop is harvestable.

You will also be invited for quarterly picnic at your host farm and can volunteer weekly to oversee your plot and glean the healthful benefits of exercise and fresh county air!

We are not responsible for any delays or losses due to weather or other acts of nature or God. As your plot and your host farm ages, they will become more resilient and stored produce more abundant to offset losses and the non-growing seasons/phases.

Here are some tips for diabetic gardening:

Start with simple, hardy fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, zucchini, beans, strawberries, apples, and peaches. Use tubs or borders to plants herbs like oregano, rosemary, mint, parsley, and cilantro. All of these can be used in diabetic friendly recipes like a tasty ratatouille, fruit salad or baked apple.

Gardening is a great way to use exercise into daily life and potentially improve your diet too. Exercise is one of the main benefits of gardening. Did you know to clear land for 30 minutes burns around 200 calories while weeding for 30 minutes burns about 182 calories, and planting bulbs or seeds for half an hour burns about 162 calories? Your subscription includes access to our farm for volunteer gardening on a weekly basis and a quarterly picnic for your family here on the farm.

Select whole grains and whole-grain products over processed, bleached, and enriched carbs. Fresh fruit’s better for you than dried, canned, frozen, or juiced as it retains its fiber and nutritional value.
