On Monday, January 16th, 2017, over 75 community volunteers joined hands in labor at Tri Cycle Farms in honor of the inclusive mission of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Together, we started a new Victory Garden in front of the TCF Rock House, cleared the way for our upcoming compost expansion, moved leaves from Trinity United Methodist Church to our stockpile at TCF, finished winterizing the garden, and built the log structure for a new hugelkultur!
Service Corps members from AmeriCorps VISTA, Arkansas GardenCorps, and FoodCorps from across Northwest Arkansas participated in this event alongside volunteers from Teen Action and Support Center (TASC), Apple Seeds, university students, community members and families.
Following the workday, volunteers and community members gathered for a meal of Stone Soup at the Trinity United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall. Mike from Mike's Mindful Plate expertly prepared donated produce and goods from Ozark Natural Food, and served his amazing lentil and coconut soups alongside breads donated by Ozark Natural Breads.
Thanks to everyone who participated in and supported our Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service! You all contributed to expanding TCF's ability to grow more and share more with the community!
