It has been a busy month at At Ease Orchard and the incubator farms.

At Porter Farm, our recent rain barrel class was a success, with 20 people in attendance. Thank you to everyone who came out to learn more about water conservation and practical ways to support gardens and small farms. Hendricks County Soil and Water Conservation District also shared a fun video recap from the class on their Facebook page.

At Ease Orchard also donated 32 whole chickens to the Gathering of the Queens food pantry in Anderson, Indiana. We are grateful for the opportunity to support local food access and help get farm-raised food into the community.

We are continuing our presence at the Pendleton Farmers Market in Pendleton, Indiana. The market is also looking for more produce growers, so local farmers who are interested in another market outlet may want to reach out and learn more.

At Joe’s farm, the high tunnel is shifting into warm-season production. Cucumbers and green beans are starting to produce, and plenty of tomatoes are on the way.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support At Ease Orchard, our incubator farms, and the farmers working to grow food for their communities.
