Another stop on #PDC class weekend. We practiced design layout and talked about stormwater and then played on the playground! #pdc #permaculturedesigncourse #playground

Last weekend Ronnie from @weefarm34 gave the #PDC students a tour of the farm. #tinyfarm #microfarm #ittybittyfarm #itsreallysmall! #womenfarmers #womenwhofarm #urbanfarm #rooftopfarm #rooftopfarmer

Setting up a kiwi arbor during the permaculture design course

We have our own tv chef! Jeanine cooked and demonstrated a recipe with @mdfarmtv today. She was amazing! #tvdinner #outdoorcooking #outdoorchef #foodforest #forestgarden #outdoorkitchen

Shiitake picking with @mdfarmtv can be pretty intense. 🤓 #foodforest #forestgarden #mdfarmtv

A little yellow to brighten a grey day! #goldenrod #solidago #rainyday

Aww baby woolybear! Winter’s gonna be small? #woolybearcaterpillar #animalweatherforecaster

The blackberries were taking over a path so we added locust branches and a line of wire to our existing fence to hold them up. Much easier than moving the path! #localfruit #blacklocust #wirevise #robinia #locallumber

The persimmons are not quite ready yet. Here is the ground cherry which will get that awful taste out of your mouth! #persimmons #astringent #groundcherry #localfruit

Chef Vincent of @zaytinya led an amazing team for another great food forest feast! Thanks again to Michael, Vincent, Aseem, and Jourdan for making our produce into the best food around! @zaytinyachef @vincent_badiee @aseemcharan @dubie_doo85 #foodforestfeast #foodforest #forestgarden #localfood #farmtotable #permaculture #agroforestry #agroecology

Another amazing feast with @zaytinya and @zaytinyachef Michael Costa! #foodforestfeast #foodforest #forestgarden #localfood #farmtotable #permaculture #agroforestry #agroecology

We couldn’t pull off one of our feasts without the help of lots of amazing volunteers. Melina, a #PDC student, is just one of the amazing people that came out. Thank you Melina, Eric, Stephanie, Arman, Dana, Wanqing, Thomas, Xavier, Zarah, Sohaila, Shaunti, Rebecca, Hope, Nina, Elliott, Marcellus, Liz, and Eva! #volunteersrock #foodforestfeast #foodforest #forestgarden #localfood #farmtotable #permaculture #agroforestry #agroecology #womenofpermaculture
