Thank you Whole Foods!
We are thrilled to learn that Whole Foods will be donating nearly $6,000 to the garden from their recent %5 Day!!!! We hope to use this money to purchase a greenhouse, which will extend our growing season. We are also exploring better student seating and a partnership with Cultivating Community. To learn more about the greenhouse we are considering visit http://greenhouseoutlet.com/riongreengiant.shtml. For more information about Cultivating Community go to http://cultivatingcommunity.org

WOW!!!!! Our fall harvest was a HUGE success!
We raised over 140 pounds of potatoes, and over 220 pounds of carrots this summer!!!!!! The food we grew will be served in hot lunches district-wide during Maine Harvest Lunch. All excess will be donated to the Wayside Soup Kitchen. Thanks to the many hands and heads who helped make this happen.

August 26th: Potatoes
This is just how we're supposed to look. Really! Our tops are dying, but under the dirt our roots are making potatoes. Soon we will be ready to dig (and eat!).
