Hoopmania on K st

Food Justice, Progressive Student Union, and Epsilon Sigma Alpha all came out to the Farm at Walker Jones on Sunday to help build hoop houses for the baby spinach plants.


Farmer John bending the hoops.

Staking the hoops with rebar.

Laying the cloth over the hoops. This cloth is really thin, but sturdy. It's the warm weather version of the plastic vinyl that common hoop houses use.

All of our hard work.

A project that would have taken John a day took him under 2 hours with our help! Thank you to all the volunteers that came out!

Epic Building Day

This past Saturday day, some pretty amazing volunteers came out. GW's Epsilon Sigma Alpha Community Service Sorority lent a hand building our new perennial herb circle out of recycled bricks and bunch of brand new cold frames.






Thank you so much ESA!
