Hey Folks!! If all goes according to plan, by March 28th BZ Farm's onion seedlings that were sowed on January 12 should be nicely sized up and ready to transplant. If they can get this done on Saturday and Sunday March 28 & 29, they'll be able to ride the energy wave of the upcoming full moon on April 1st to help the seedlings get a good start planted out in the beds. This year the BZ farmers will be planting onion seedlings as opposed to their regular method of planting their home-grown onion sets due to a crop failure last year growing the sets. They'll be planting roughly 3000 onion seedlings, enough for four 4 ft. x 100 ft. beds. It's a bit tedious-- akin to planting rice but at least you don't have to wade around in knee-deep water. There will be recorded dance music to keep everyone motivated (and live music if any musicians out there feel like donating some of your talent). They'll cook some good food and folks can feel free to bring a potluck dish. Good food, good music, good work and good comradery. Camp out overnight if you want.
Folks who volunteer will earn credit towards produce the farm will be growing during the 2026 season. Contact BZ Farm if you're interested.
