PCF Wraps Up Summer Programming
Partridge Creek Farm had an exciting first growing season and summer at the Community Farm! PCF kicked off the summer with a ribbon cutting which kicked off the summer Skill Share series where community members were both invited to share and learn a skill for free this summer and hang out at the farm! PCF also jumped back into the Power of Produce Program at the Downtown Marquette Farmers Market encouraging youth to learn more about where their food is coming from and interact with the farmers at The Market.
Skill Shares
This summer, the farm welcomed many knowledgeable and curious community members.
Skill Shares included:
Burdock Root Basket Weaving
Plant Classes, How to Use Specific Herbs
Tortilla Making
Block Printing
Plant Swap
Fermentation
Sustainability Chat
We want to thank all of the Skill Share leads for sharing your knowledge and interests with the community. We also want to thank our community for showing up and wanting to learn a new skill. We already can’t wait for next year!
