MariLark Farms: Building community one seed at a time

10/22/2024

With less than two weeks left in this election, I can't say enough about how important it is to vote! I am proud to say I support freedom, democracy, the constitution, the rule of law, building community with love and respect for each other and with respect for our environment and nature. And now the baton is in our hands. Let us choose wisely, with empathy and respect for all.

We successfully held a potting party at the tail end of this covid pandemic. With three potting stations and 15+ people, we potted roughly over 1200 tomato plants in a little less than four hours. I still have 300+ plants I started late and we'll reach over 1500 plants this year. Most of these tomatoes will be available soon, after they grow to a proper planting size, so stay tuned. I want to thank everyone who volunteered.
