Fall is here, and it's time to dig roots! All summer long beet and carrot plants have been channeling nutrients down their leaves, sending tiny roots into the soil, and collecting energy in their orange and red sweet and crisp roots. Come help Lucy and Chaw of Stick and Stone Farm dig and pull the roots which will be stored and dolled out over the winter to CSA members, local restaurants and grocery stores. You might even toss one in your cart at Greenstar later this year!
Special note: This mob is an opportunity for you to help raise money to support low-income families, schools, and community centers in our area in getting healthy farm-fresh food. You can get pledges for each pound of root veggies you harvest at Stick and Stone and the money goes straight to Ithaca Community Harvest, which also funds the BJM Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snack Program. Sign-up here to take the harvest challenge!
Whether you raise money or not, come on out to the farm for some fun and to get reconnected back to the root of local food!
Where: Stick and Stone Farm, 1605 Trumansburg Rd., Ithaca (also known as Buffalo St., Cliff St., Rt. 96) - 4.5 miles from downtown Ithaca
