Our 2025 vegetable garden growing season has started!   On Tuesday April 1st, our Lunch Break farm manager and some of our garden volunteers planted several types of lettuce, spinach, beet, radicchio, and leek seedlings.   And, peas were sowed in the center bed under two trellises.  All of the crops planted were requested by the Lunch Break chefs and pantry manager.

 

And, if you peek out the Learning Center windows, you'll see that a brand-new 8-foot-tall deer and groundhog-proof fence and gate has been installed.  The project was completed thanks to funding from Lunch Break, manpower from the Knights of Columbus Council 816, our facility manager Caesar, and a few of our garden volunteers.  It was quite an ambitious project that will enable us to grow even more healthy, organic produce to feed the needy.
