Today I harvested 12 pounds of zucchini from the Head Start Family Garden! We are picking peas, lettuce and cherry tomatoes and herbs, too.
With the help of community volunteers from the neighborhood, Head Start families and the Noyo Food Forest Youth Interns, the garden is taking shape and producing food. There are carrots, several kinds of beans, more peas, radishes, potatoes and pumpkins on the way...they'll be ready for the Head Start meals this fall.
A neighborhood volunteer built us gates that will be installed this week and a new donated greenhouse is coming soon.
Each time I work in the garden people walk by headed to football practice in the field, working on the building, or cutting through the field...they are all so happy to see the progress and to have another school garden here in Fort Bragg!
Family Garden Days are every Thursday 2-4pm. Everyone is welcome! Come lend a hand and share in the harvest.

Peas, lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, and, of course, zucchini!
It's really amazing to see how the volunteers and staff of the Noyo Food Forest have so quickly created all of these gardens.
Fort Bragg and the whole coast is a greener, healthier place thanks to Noyo Food Forest.
