Iron Street Farm is in Chicago! I am happy to have a found a farm nearby me to work on. It is a 7 acre, urban farm located in Bridgeport. My friend, Matt and I transplanted fennel into the ground and moved a mixture of beer mash and wood chips. The beer mash and wood chips had been surrounding the hoop houses from the outside to keep them insulated but now that the weather is getting warmer they no longer need the extra heat.
We shoveled beer mash and wood chips into the wheel barrow, then brought them over to a huge pile and dumped them out. Compost bins are in the background!
It was a great day! I got my first sunburn of the year. I always make that mistake once and then I learn to have sunscreen on at all times.
If you ever want to volunteer with me on a farm this summer let me know!
