It's that time! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

Everything is ramping up around the farm. Different teams of the crew are bustling around irrigating, transplanting, weeding, pruning, harvesting, seeding, tilling, and anxiously checking if the strawberries are ripe.
Harvests are getting larger and more varied - favorites like cucumbers and broccoli are on the horizon. Peak summer crops are showing signs of growth with each warmer day. And best of all, the enthusiasm from our members is a loving reminder that what we do is appreciated. It's a good time to be a farmer!

Transplanting onions is one of the first huge projects we tackle every spring. Planting thousands of onions takes our large crew several days of non stop planting, often working longer than normal hours. We've planted them in the snow, we've planted them in the heat, we've planted them on time, and we've planted them a bit late. Somehow though the onions always take root and grow, and eventually reward us with their bounty.

Mark your calendars for our annual plant sale. Come down from 9-12 the first three Saturdays of May at our pole barn, or shop for starts at the last winter pick ups. Cash or check only!

Construction on our new shared wash/storage facility is progressing quickly! Lots of concrete has been poured and many building materials have been delivered for construction.

First transplants in the ground today. Over a half mile worth of beds planted!

Repost via @intervalecenter :
This week, we broke ground on a shared pack house and storage facility that will accommodate a production increase at the Intervale Conservation Nursery and also support year round washing and product storage for Intervale Community Farm.

Big things happening soon... Stay tuned for more info

Some of our fields are so deep in the #intervale it's easy to forget we're within the city limits of Burlington

That's a big one!

For 30 years, the Intervale Center has been a place of stories - stories of the land, stories of farmers and gardeners, stories of renewal, and stories of hope. Now, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, we invite our community to join us for an evening of funny, quirky, sad, and inspiring storytelling with an Intervale theme. Join us for an evening to celebrate the many stories of Burlington’s backyard, the incredible Intervale!
