D Acres of New Hampshire
Organic Farm & Educational Homestead
Spring Greetings!
Spring is just around the corner...it's got to be by now, right? We have seedlings started in the basement and spinach is planted in the greenhouse...we're optimistic! Last month we welcomed back Garden Supervisor Morgan Casella and Resident Blacksmith Joe Vachon (unearthing his blacksmith shop tipi, above). Also, our first Pizza & A Movie (every first Friday) and Satuday Soup (every third Saturday) nights were a hit, and are back this month!
NEW WORKSHOPS have been added to our Cultivating Wellness Conference, September 13 & 14, 2008! We are thrilled to welcome the following new speakers to the roster: natural beekeeper Ross Conrad of Dancing Bee Gardens in VT, mushroom expert Dave Wichland of Wichland Woods in Keene, NH and homesteader Bob St. Peter of The Good Life Center in Harborside, ME! Check the "Wellness Conference" page on our web site (www.dacres.org) for more info!
Dave Wichland is also presenting at D Acres this month! Saturday, April 12th, from 10am-4pm, Dave will present a hands-on, one-day workshop entitled "Mycological Landscaping," during which participants will practice hands-on cultivation of elm oysters on straw and morels in garden beds. If you want to learn how to grow your own delectable mushrooms, this is the workshop for you!
Earth Day is Tuesday, April 22nd! We are hosting a potluck at D Acres that night from 6-9pm, during which Cynthia Robinson of Eco Art a la Carte will share with us the human-nature experience through artwork. Additionally, we will be holding an "Open House" in our newly painted Yoga Room, which will be home to an original mural by Lisa Olech of Ashland, NH!
D Acres is VERY excited to welcome back Mark Fulford, who will be leading two days of workshops, Saturday and Sunday, May 13 & 14! Orchard care, including pruning and grafting, comprises day 1; day 2 (Sunday) will focus on composting, including compost tea formulation, for the organic garden! Mark's workshop is a MUST for the New England organic grower or aspiring gardener! Participate in one day or join us for both, $50/day ($90/2 days) includes lunch; D Acres discounts apply! **Please pre-register**
We are thrilled to report that Tish Hill of Off The Hanger in Plymouth, NH is starting a "Go Bagless" campaign in town! Every time you refuse a bag at the checkout counter, Off The Hanger will donate $0.05 to a local charity! Charities lined up include PSU's Common Ground Club, PAREI, and D Acres! Spread the good word, and bring canvas bags with you when you shop, at Off The Hanger AND elsewhere!
D Acres is currently putting together the 2nd Edition of the Pemi-Baker Valley Local Food Guide! If you are a local farmer or a retail establishment that offers local food, we want to list you in the directory!

We're looking forward to seeing you at the farm soon!
Be well!
