Big thanks to our friends and comrades with NC BLOC who spent some time at the farm this weekend during their annual Action Camp!!

Together we harvested holy basil, sorrel, mustard greens, arugula and purslane; the fridge got a thorough cleaning; and we packed more seeds for the seed library.

The whole weekend was a beautiful experience and we loved having your energy out on the land 💚 💚 💚

Need to borrow a djembe for the class? We have a limited number available, so if you don't have one to bring, please register to use one here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/djembe-reservation-for-bipoc-class

Meet Tempe (she/they), our apprentice for the month through Anne Saxelby Legacy Fund. Tempe comes from a lineage of farmers, land stewards and caretakers from southern Georgia. As an apprentice, she is fueled by the opportunity to support and learn more about youth education, food distribution, and nurturing community-based food webs as an act of resistance, care, and preservation. She is excited to support the work of Southside Community Farm, Asheville and explore/share seeds of knowledge gained during her apprenticeship with her home community in Atlanta, Georgia, southernpearlfarm.
