Saturday, February 2, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm – Climate Action Day at Drumlin Farm

by

Join the Massachusetts Audubon Society on Groundhog Day (Saturday, February 2) to dig into the science of climate and weather.

How has our New England climate changed and what can we do to help? Weather and climate activities will take place throughout the day, focusing on simple things families can do to make a difference. Hot cocoa will be provided. Families will also have the chance to see Drumlin’s very own Ms. G, the Official State Groundhog of Massachusetts. Watch her make a prediction about the weather in the coming months—will we have 6 more weeks of winter or will we get an early spring? Suitable for all ages.

Featured Activities

Investigate our local climate with Don McCasland of Blue Hills Observatory & Science Center
Enjoy games & climate action activities with our Teen Stewardship Leaders
Learn the forecast for spring from our woodchuck weather expert at 10:00 am (encore at 1 pm)
Visit with more of our resident wildlife and farm animals, learning about winter tracking, and explore the trails
Make some winter crafts to take home

Members & Lincoln residents: Free
Nonmembers: $9 Adults, $6 Children (2-12), $6 Seniors (65+)

Friday, February 15 – Early Bird Deadline for 2019 Allandale Farm CSA Registration

by

Sign up for a CSA share with Allandale Farm before February 15th and save. Take advantage of their Early Bird Special: Get 20 weeks of Allandale veggies for the price of 19! Plus, all CSA members receive 10% off in the store on their pick-up days. The store is located at 259 Allandale Road in Brookline. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a great way to support the farm and get a share of the coming season’s harvest. You receive a good value for fresh, local vegetables and in turn, the farm receives income in the winter months when the seed, plant and supply bills are piling up and other farm income is minimal or non-existent. Vegetable CSA: One share is at least one half-bushel of Allandale Farm grown produce per week for 20 weeks beginning in mid June. In your box, you will find a full representation of the crops we are harvesting at that point in the season. You will also receive a weekly CSA newsletter with crop and farm information, recipes and more.

Each week, you’ll receive a diverse array of fresh vegetables representative of what we are harvesting from our fields. Your share might include seasonal combinations of…

Arugula, beans, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cucumbers, eggplant, fennel, garlic and garlic scapes, greens, herbs, leeks, lettuce, new potatoes, onions, sweet and hot peppers, radishes, scallions, spinach, spring lettuce mix, summer squash, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, turnips, watermelon, winter squash, and zucchini.

See something you can’t stand? This season, we’ll have a Swap Box so you can drop it and swap it. Leave behind those veggies you’ve had enough of, and grab something extra that you absolutely love. To sign up, and for more information, visit https://allandalefarm.com/csa-farm-bucks/
