Spring Renovations Underway
/
With the weather finally cooperating enough to allow Better Farmers to move about freely on the property, we've jumped headfirst into spring renovations.
From replacing a broken greenhouse door to (finally!) installing closet doors over what were tapestry-covered alcoves, from planting seeds (stay tuned for pics and garden maps!) to applying fresh coats of paint to long-neglected rooms, from chopping wood for next fall to new couches and chandeliers, the Farm is abuzz with activity.
Here are a few photos of what we've been up to:
To get involved with these and other projects throughout the spring, summer, and fall, please contact us for more information on volunteering or internships.
