Additional sponsorships have been added to help with funding for the farm.
They have planted 3,000 seeds with beds to be done in the next 45 days.
Volunteer opportunities will be available soon to help with the farm.
A dozen or so beehives will be built to make honey to be sold at the farm with our name on it.
They are joining forces the Catawba Riverkeepers to clean up the stream behind the farm,
fixing the bridge so people from Aldersgate can have access and inviting school groups out to serve as a teaching tool.
If you have any questions about gardening, help with soil or what you planted

Weather permitting we will begin the demo process the week of January 28th.
Weather permitting we will begin the demo process the week of January 28th.
The two cinder block buildings, concrete pads underneath, the internal fencing,
light poles, and tennis courts will all be demolished and removed.
We are leaving the pavilion for now and will get power connected in the near future.
We also will be planting an orchard of Figs, Persimmons, Plums and
get our first round of berry bushes on the hill in early Feb.
Over the next few weeks you will see activity down on the farm as we clean up
all the brush and dead trees. Our next round of fundraising will be
dedicated to getting a Farm Manager on staff. In the mean time we will put in a
cover crop where the tennis courts are and the area where the pool used to be.
Once it warms up in March/April we will host a neighborhood event.
I know there is continued concern around traffic.
This will be a slow gradual process of building out the farm.
We fully intend to be vested into Windsor Park and be a good neighbor.
As things progress we will be very self aware of our impact and address concerns.
Communication will always be open and welcomed. Please do not hesitate to
call or email if you have questions or concerns. 704-264-6088, zack@carolinafarmtrust.org
Thank you,
