Chicken Plan Passed!

The Chicken Plan was approved by the Friends Meeting on March 14, 2010. We are looking forward to getting started with our chicken plan, which will include building a chicken run and coop, getting the chickens, and beginning the care rotation. Shannon and Matt have graciously offered to help with the young chicks and to care for them in their home until they are big enough to put outside.

A few additions to the chicken plan include providing hay for the chickens to keep the smell down. We will also be getting the youth from the Friends Meeting to help participate as much as they want. What a great way for families to be a part of the community!

The Garden is almost completely full! We have two more families from the community that will be participating! We have also set aside a plot to plant some perennials like asparagus and strawberries from which we will all share! We have ordered some plants and some seeds, so we are getting ready for the warmer spring days so that we can get our gardening started!
