ALL ABOUT GRACE FARM
An introduction to Grace Farm and its new CSA program will be held over Rockingham Library zoom on Thursday, March18. In early 2019, Grace Mooney purchased her home and 4 acres of land in Athens, VT. In 2020, she tilled up about half an acre of her back yard and installed a 50x14 caterpillar tunnel to help with season extension and summer tomatoes and peppers. She's currently building the infrastructure for a small livestock operation, with pastured pigs, meat chickens, and laying chickens.
"2021 will be my first year of running my own farm, and I can't wait to work with my neighbors and friends to provide food for my amazing community," says farmer Grace Mooney. This Rockingham Library program is the perfect opportunity to learn more about CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture), the bio-intensive low till method of vegetable farming and a young woman's passion for feeding her community.
This program is part of a series: "Resilient Communities: Libraries Respond to Climate Change" at Rockingham Library sponsored by a grant from the American Library Association. Growing and purchasing food locally is but one of many ways to create community resilience in the face of future climate change related disasters.
