Spring Kickoff & Spring Break Day Camp at Village Farm

March 13th, 2026

Spring is here and we are celebrating at Village Farm with a couple of special events! This Saturday, March 14th, join us for our Spring Kickoff at the Farmers Market from 9am - 1pm to enjoy games, local shopping, and more! Then on March 20th, live a day in the life of a farmer at Village Farm’s Spring Break Day Camp! The farm will come to life for campers through an exciting experience of harvesting vegetables, planting new crops, and feeding the goats. Participants will also enjoy a farm-to-table lunch prepared with Cook Learn Grow chef and an art exploration that is sure to engage all the senses! If your kiddo is interested in joining the fun, register here to reserve a spot!

This week the chosen vegetable for Harvest of the Month at Neill Elementary is Swiss Chard! This spinach-like green has a delicate texture and mild taste which makes it great to eat both raw or cooked. If your kiddo enjoyed the taste-testing at lunch time, be sure to stop by the Spring Kickoff at our Farmers Market this Saturday from 9am - 1pm! There will be fun games, including Human Hamster Balls, local handmade goods, and organically grown Spring seedlings and vegetables from the farm!

As new Spring plants like flowers and eggplant enter the field, we are also busy preparing our chicken coop for a new flock! Though our current flock will be missed, we are happy to say they have just been adopted to a safe and loving home for retirement! After a long stretch with minimal egg production, we are happy to begin offering eggs again in our Veggie Share once the new flock begins producing. Stay tuned for updates as the new flock arrives and makes Village Farm their home!

Currently in Season: Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Salad Mix, Lettuce, Cilantro, Dill, Parsley, Carrots, Fennel, Scallions, Spring Onions, Celery, Kale, Chard, Collards, and Chicory Greens
