We'll be harvesting tomatoes, peppers, hopefully beans, cukes, and squash. We'll also begin prep work for Fall planting. Hours are from 9-4 with farm fresh lunch (delicious home cooking!) provided at 1 o'clock. Recent News Kelly Latimore attended a horse driving school in Amish country where he learned how to work the land with a team of horses. We enjoyed hosting St. Patrick's from Dublin this past week; they gave us tremendous help in the garden and on some carpentry projects! A group of us visited several farms in central PA on the way to pick up the new cow and we bought several different kinds of excellent farmstead cheeses from Otterbein Acres. Projects for “Super” Volunteers If you have a particular skill or interest you would like to share, sign up to be one of our super volunteers. These are folks that are willing to work independently and/or help lead other volunteers. Please contact us if you have interest. Tuesday Eucharist + meal A reminder that every Tuesday, rain or shine, we are hosting a communion service plus farm-style meal. The evening starts at 5:30 and all are welcome. Directions to the Farm… We are located at 10011 Armitage Road or mile marker 5.5 on the bike path. Armitage is the first right after the 682/Union Street intersection (by White’s Mill). Our farmhouse is at the very end of Armitage Rd. (2 miles down the road). When the road turns to gravel, keep going straight, pass a metal building, and you will see our two story white brick house. |

The Good Earth Farm is a ‘food provider’ for local food pantries and soup kitchens. Further, the goal is to get people involved by leading volunteers in hunger related work every week. We use our local resources to strengthen our local emergency food system. Last year (2009) we grew and gleaned 15,000 pounds of high quality food for 25 food pantries, women's shelters, and other centers of need in our region. This year we plan to double production. We are faith based and receive 501c3 status through the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd. Anyone and everyone is welcome, our expression of faith is through sweat for love of neighbor and love of the Good Earth. On Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. the Holy Eucharist is celebrated at the Good Earth Farm.
