Calling all Tri Cyclists! One of our partner organizations recently donated a large number of items to the farm and we need help getting everything sorted and organized. Our Rock House garage is currently packed full of boxes and shelving units that need to be moved and set up in our upstairs office space and garage. This volunteer opportunity will require about 5 sets of hands to help sort through and carry the supplies.
In addition, Don and Kelly will be out in the gardens starting around 10:00 to lead volunteers in a number of tasks with the goal of cleaning up the property and completing some projects that weren't finished on our last workday.
The weather should be fairly nice on Saturday, but it is always best to dress warm, in layers and close-toed shoes.
If you are driving, please be sure to park across the street at Trinity United Methodist Church in their gravel parking lot.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” Against what seemed like impossible odds, Dr. King and scores of his fellow citizens of all races came together and, ultimately, helped bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice.
Join us at noon on Monday, January 21, 2019 for Tri Cycle Farms' 6th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. National Day of Service. For this year's day of service, volunteers will be honoring Dr. King’s legacy by helping Tri Cycle get the property prepped for this coming growing season from noon until 3pm. Afterward, we’ll all come together for a community meal in Trinity’s Fellowship Hall.
We’d love to share the day with you! Bring a water bottle, work gloves if you have them, wear sturdy closed-toed shoes, and dress in layers.
Parking available in the gravel parking lot at Trinity United Methodist Church.

"Organic or ecological pest control in fruit in the southeastern United States is quite difficult due to a climate and environment conducive to diseases and pests, a situation often made worse by trying to grow varieties of non-native fruits poorly adapted to our conditions.
Nevertheless, with a) the right varieties of the right species, b) an understanding of pest and disease life cycles, and c) a knowledge of what organic strategies and materials are available, gardeners and farmers can grow an abundance of nutritious fruit for their families and communities."
Our fabulous presenter, Guy King Ames, 66, has been growing fruit organically in the Ozarks for more years than he wants to think about. He has a masters in horticulture (emphasis on pest control in fruit) and is a horticulturist with the National Center for Appropriate Technology, which runs the ATTRA project (www.attra.ncat.org), a nationwide information service for sustainable agriculture.
Registrants will receive an electronic copy of Guy's Powerpoint slides - we strongly suggest you print out your copy and bring it, and your questions, to the class.
