Sunday 15 July 2012 – EarthDance FARMs trip
EarthDance FARMs is a celebrated urban farm
working to put the ‘culture’ back in agriculture.
Watch how EarthDance works with musicians,
artists, educators and non-profits to help cultivate
and create a vibrant food culture in Saint Louis.
Exciting news came out just before our field trip:
with the help of significant donor gifts, EarthDance
will now be able to purchase and develop the
Mueller Farm. We love that, because now they
can build a toolshed, an educational center
and some restrooms! For sure, Green Spiral will
be back for another visit, as lots of families
always ping in with interest.
The Mueller farm is one of the oldest organic
farms in the area, and preserving these fertile
farmlands is an important step in growing the food
movement. We got to tour the farm with founder
Molly Rockamann and a large crowd; here is a photo
of Molly, and of the “three sisters garden”
created by one of the second year apprentices.
