Each week, members of the Women Grow Food program engage in hands-on learning at the Deep Dirt Farm greenhouse. This program was founded and led by permaculture practitioner Kate Tirion of Deep Dirt Farm, a graduate of the renowned UC Santa Cruz Farm Program.
Members utilize the greenhouse facility, tools, seeds, and materials as they gain valuable training in permaculture techniques. Members then leave with a share of the day's seasonal harvest. Kate Tirion is currently taking a few months’ hiatus to focus her energies on new projects. Cheridyn Egan has stepped in to serve as interim coordinator, ably guiding the efforts of WGF participants along with volunteers who continue to tend the plantings in alternating, COVID-wise shifts, trap the endless legions of vermin and pests who find the farm’s veggies irresistible, and perform the other myriad tasks required to keep the vegetable beds producing. Come join this group of lively, fun and dedicated women as we learn to grow and harvest fresh, organic garden vegetables!
Suggested donation of $50 per month, sliding fee scale available starting at $5 per month. Contact wgf@borderlandsrestoration.org for more information and to volunteer with this program. This program is possible through the generous support of donors. To make a donation, click here. |
