Edible Flint

BRRRR! 🌨️We will be moving our New Farm Volunteer Orientation to this SATURDAY 4/11 due to the frigid temperatures today. The Edible Flint Educational Farm Is located at 1628 Beach St. Flint, MI - we will meet Saturday, 4/11, 10am-1pm. I want to also note that if you are unable to make it Saturday we will still be at the farm today 4/7 if you'd like to join us.

If you are joining for either day please dress for the weather in layers as we will be working inside the hoop and outside. Wear closed-toed, comfortable shoes and be aware that the ground is uneven at the farm. I recommend you bring you own water bottles for hydration. We will go over basic procedures and the lay out of the farm - after orientation you are welcome to leave or stay and work on farm projects with us! Parking is next to the red shed or behind the big hoop house.

Throwback to snow on the hoops last year!⛄️

Today we planted more peas, lettuce, radishes, swiss chard, arugula and bunching onions in the big hoop while we listened to nostalgic music and watched the rain fall. Thank you to those who braved the weather to spend their time at the farm! 🫛

P.S. - Our little free libraries at the farm are stocked with warm handmade hats by Ginny and gloves of all sizes - come grab some to keep you cozy and dry until the sun returns. 1628 Beach St. Flint, MI ☔️
