Farm work day Sunday 4/3/16 (Spring Break Idea)

Love visiting farms? Love Gardening? Need a Spring Break idea to get everyone out of the house? Please come join us at Back In Time Farm to plant this summer’s crop of veggies. We will be transplanting tomato and pepper plants along with seeding beds of beans, cucumbers, squash and much more. This will be a fun day of learning and community building within our locally grown co-op. Please RSVP by Friday 4/1. Ages 9 & up are welcome and don’t forget your gloves and sunblock.

If you have Beta Club high schoolers that need volunteer time, this is a great way to get some hours!

To RSVP please email Bill & Ruth at backintimefarms@gmail.com

The farm address is 40 Arnold Rd SE, Statham GA 30666

See you there!

Farm Tour: Back in Time Farm- UPDATE

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! We will tour Back in Time Farm on Sunday, April 17th from 2pm to 4pm. This is a great opportunity for you and your family to meet your farmer and see where your food comes from! Come see their chickens, goats, baby cows and gardens! All the animals are kid friendly but we ask that you supervise the little ones.

UPDATE
HAY RIDE will be provided for little ones and those that can’t walk for long periods of time! Back in Time will have a tractor pulled hayride during the tour. Please RSVP soon so they will know if they need a 2nd one. Feel free to bring a snack to have by the gentle flowing creek at the back of the property.

Please RSVP if you can make it. I have added a category on the market called “Farm Tours -RSVP” and would like you to add to your cart as an order if you want to attend.

The farm address is 40 Arnold Rd SE, Statham GA 30666 (about 50 minutes from Suwanee)

Hope to see you there!!

No packing is involved just need someone to be there to assist other members. You are welcome to bring your kids as long as they are supervised.

FACEBOOK – Opportunity to help!
Many of you have told me that you can’t volunteer due to your work/family schedule and I completely understand. You’ve also asked what else can I do help out the co-op? Here’s one way that will really help us out – if you are on Facebook or other social media please consider posting a pic of your co-op goodies! I have a very limited marketing budget and really depend on word of mouth advertising. Please feel free to spread the word about our wonderful market! Tag us @SuwaneeWholeLife
