We will be forming a committee for all interested persons to get-together and organize the building and operation of a community garden to be located adjacent to the Post Office. Anyone wishing to be involved in future communications about the garden please email me to let me know.

Other items of note
Anyone wishing to take home harvested produce from the community garden must be a member of the association ($20 annual fee) to help offset the costs of renting the land and water. Applications are at the Post Office or can be found online here.
Volunteers that do not need any harvested produce do not need to be a member.
To Be Determined
- Costs to rent a private plot
- Farmers market to sell surplus harvested produce to the community
- Free surplus harvested produce
Ideas are welcome. Questions are welcome but please understand the committee may not have an answer yet.
