CSA update -- Life in Mudville

We aren't letting the wet weather get us down, it dried out enough on Thursday to swoop in and do some bed building to keep up with schedule. Also we are planting some things in the greenhouse that we might have direct seeded since it is a bit cold out at night for some seeds to germinate. Still, we may not start until the 18th of April or even a week later if it doesn't warm up a bit in a week or so!

 We got our seeds, onion plants, and potatoes ready, and are on schedule with our soil work...now all we have to do it wait a week or so for the weather to break.

 We still have CSA shares left! Check out our website at circleacres.info/coop or email getradcircleacres@gmail.com for more info! 

Also, check out the Get Rad etsy shop that now has a great array of Circle Acres made crafts: GETRAD ETSY SHOP.

Get RAD in March!

Welcome back, GET RAD!

We are excited to offer another season of the Get Rad workshop series here at Circle Acres.
This will be the second year of these Get Rad workshops. Last year was a success, we offered a wide variety of workshops (potting soil, mushroom inoculation, the building weekend), and we had a tremendous amount of fun working and learning from each other. The potluck and music afterwards was just as rewarding as the joy of people joining us to create a safe space for learning information and sharing skills with each other in harmony with nature.
This season of the get rad workshop series will start on Saturday, March 23rd. And will happen on the third or fourth Saturday monthly.

getRAD March 23rd!  DIY Knife Demo

The first workshop of the season is a demonstration of how to make your own carving knife. Tenderfoot will show you each step of how to make your own old time carving knife incorporating locally harvested and salvaged materials and some good old twisted DIY mentality. This style carving knife will be a sharp addition to any wood shop or crafter’s kit, as it easily gets and keeps its edge.
