WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY

"While at The Seed Farm, I learned a lot of different things. One thing that really stuck with me was the importance of a good plan: having your crops and workers and everything planned out each day really helps you get things done and helps your farm become productive. I thank The Seed Farm every day for what I learned there."

Our final on-farm volunteer event of the year brought us out to the field to tuck one last crop into the soil: garlic!⁠ 🧄⁠
⁠
This pungent allium is ideally planted in the fall with enough time to establish roots but not so early that it sends up a stalk, which could get damaged during cold winter months. When air and soil temperatures warm in the early spring, the little buried bulbs take their cue to resume growing and send up fresh green stalks and leaves. For now, they are tucked under a thick mulch of straw to keep the soil covered and protected against the eroding forces of winter winds and precipitation.

Let’s remember that the day after Thanksgiving is Native American Heritage Day—a time to honor the rich cultures and histories of Indigenous Peoples who lived on and cared for this land long before our time here.🍂The Lehigh Valley rests on the ancestral land of the Lenape people, who have stewarded this land for generations.⁠
⁠
Today, Native Americans face some of the highest poverty rates in the U.S., driven by factors such as land and resource restrictions, health disparities, unemployment barriers, discrimination, and historical displacement.⁠
⁠
Addressing these challenges requires systemic change, greater investment in tribal programs, economic partnerships, and respect for tribal sovereignty. This holiday season, let’s take time to learn about, celebrate, and support Native communities and their cultures.

We need your help! Earlier this summer, we completed Phase I of exterior construction on a much-needed addition to our barn at The Seed Farm. We're now onto Phase II, which includes pouring a concrete floor, adding electricity, and installing HVAC for a climate-controlled barn. These vital upgrades will: ⁠
⁠
👩🏼‍🌾 Allow our Incubator Farmers to process their produce and plants⁠
🥕 Create a farm stand for their CSAs ⁠
💻️ Expand office space for The Seed Farm staff ⁠
🚜 Provide classroom and workshop areas for future farmers and our community! ⁠
⁠
Your support makes all of this possible! To contribute to this project, please visit the link in our bio or donate through TheSeedFarm.org.
