Promoting sustainable agriculture and self-reliance using classes and community gardening.

In support of NCC’s commitment to sustainability, the community garden will serve as an outdoor classroom, growing space, and resource center that:

- provides students with experiential learning, service learning, interdisciplinary curriculum projects, and research opportunities;

- empowers the community to grow their own food (through opportunities such as individual garden plots and community education);
creates opportunities for partnerships with area schools, food banks and nonprofit organizations;

- promotes environmental and personal well-being; and

- maintains the integrity and health of the land.

Happy Friday! Today, the Good Growers Club came out to tackle the native plant sanctuary. A day full of sun, good company, a sweet bunny friend, and lots and lots of weeding. The club is working to reimagine this garden bed to help better manage weeds while creating a bountiful space for fruits and native flowers. Stay tuned for future developments as the club gives this area of the East 40 some love. ❤️

It's paw paw season!

Are you familiar with this tasty fall favorite? It's native to the northeast part of North America, and paw paw trees produce a large, yellowish-green to brown fruit. The ripe fruits are edible: they're sweet, with a custard-like texture and a flavor similar to banana or pineapple.

We have several paw paw trees on the East 40 acreage, and may have some to share at Tuesday's event - drop by the East 40 between 2-6:30 pm to celebrate the beginning of a new season! All are welcome; we'll have a fire pit, yard games, hands-on crafts, and good conversation.

Want to learn more? Check out Project Pawpaw, working to make these little-known fruits available to more folks 🙂
