🐝🌸 Calling all pollinator lovers! 🌸🐝

On August 21 + 22, join the Great Southeast Pollinator Census—a citizen science project created by that’s all about protecting pollinators and the plants they call home. Capturing this data helps with pollinator diversity, seasonality, and conversation efforts.

✨ Here’s how you can be part of it:
📍 Step outside in your backyard or community spaces
📝 Grab a Census Counting Sheet
👀 Pick your favorite pollinator plant, set a timer for 15 minutes, and record the insects you see

Our First Saturday series is back this weekend on June 6th! You’re invited to kick off the month with some fresh air and good company at the Farm.

Our Volunteer Workshop is all filled up but there is still room for our Water Bath Canning For Beginners Workshop with Bethany of Barn Cat Jam Co.

We’ll be exploring the world of food preservation through homemade jam. Learn about at-home canning (like jam, jellies, pickle) and we’ll even make a delicious bath of shelf-stable strawberry jam 🍓🍓🍓

Stroll the grounds, enjoy the season’s beauty, and drop in to shop our Flower Pop-Up 💐 More details and workshop registration: https://raleighcityfarm.org/events/first-saturday-june-2026

Flashback Friday ⚡️ To March 2012! Our very first workday with the NC State University Volleyball Team where we were laying down the first beds for the first growing season with mulch, cardboard, and coffee bags.

It’s wild to see how much has changed (and grown) since then.

Can you identify any of these original Farm Friends?! 👀

As part of our series, we took a walk through the recipe archives and rounded up the 15 most-loved Farmstand recipes shared over the years by chefs, farmers, volunteers, and home cooks in our community.

From muscadine vinaigrette and farm soup to tomato sauce, arugula pesto, and summer quesadillas… these recipes tell the story of what happens after the harvest. 🥬✨

One of the greatest joys of the Farm has always been seeing fresh, local produce make its way into your kitchens, dinner tables, and traditions. Every recipe shared over the years has helped make seasonal, local food feel more approachable, creative, and connected.

Huge gratitude to every contributor who shared their kitchen magic with us over the years. You helped bring the mission of the Farm to life far beyond our rows and fields.
