It’s almost time.

Where else can you find live music, a coffee truck, a vegan ice cream cart, vegan desserts, an inflatable slide, lawn games, flower planting and pot painting, kombucha demonstrations, a merch raffle, and a seedling sale?

Come kick off the growing season and celebrate sustainable, organic agriculture with us over in Farm House’s backyard from 1-4pm on the 22nd. ALL Wheaton Community members past and present are welcome! 🌱🌞 Reach out for accommodation requests.

Things look a little different in Norton! ❄️🌟

Thank you to the members that brightened up our lawn with a custom snowperson today. Hope everyone is staying safe and warm! ☃️

WheaFarm wishes you & yours a happy holiday! 🌽🦃🧡

We are SO thankful for the dirt and gastronomy that brings the Farm Fam together. We would also like to recognize the role of agriculture in the violence and destruction marking European colonization in America since the first New England Thanksgiving. We hope that you might find a way today to reconnect Indigenous people to your relationship with traditional and ceremonial foodways— check out the link in our bio to learn more.

🥦✨ We’ve rebranded! ✨🥦

Many thanks to our faithful farm friends for helping us repaint our faded signs and prep the greenhouse! ⭐️

come join us in the base at 6 p.m tomorrow for a celebration of healing💜

Hope your Friday is as sweet as the last berries of fall 😋🍓

our farm seniors!!!🧡🥦🥕🍅

Wheafarm is in full bloom! The farm stand, basil growing in the greenhouse, sunflower canoe, artichokes, carrots, cabbage, beans, and Crocodile Dundee🤍 We couldn’t have done this without the hard work of summer farm house members Sinéad, Jeanne, Elijah, Anthony, and Sarah. 📷 by the talented .scilingo

Fresh strawberries, about 50 tomato plants, and summer squash ready to harvest! Wheafarm is off to a great start this summer 🍓 🍓

Things are changing so fast around here! Seniors Sarah Yates and Maggie Daly have been plugging away and getting lots done during their extra week on campus. Scroll to see red cabbage, (lots of) transplanted mint, rootbound green cabbage, zucchini, Sarah setting up our pea and bean trellises, watermelon, Brussels sprouts (or maybe cauliflower?), artichoke, and Princess the cat in her new sunny spot :)

Look at all those prepped beds! Scroll for (in order): radishes, sweet potatoes, summer squash, garlic, strawberries, chard, mesclun, spinach, and leeks and onions 🧅🍓🥬

We’ve gotten a lot done these past few days! On Friday we had our last farm club of the semester, and Olivia ‘24 and Anthony ‘22 were amazing in helping us w**d the rest of the garden and prep another bed. Plus: our strawberry plants have blossoms 😍

They may be tiny, but they’re mighty! Our first seeded crops of the season are coming up 😊. Pictured: Swiss chard, spinach, and radishes of many colors!

Friendly reminder that applications to live in Farm House next year are due TOMORROW!!! 🌱 become part of the fam!
