Thank you everyone who attended the beautiful memorial celebration on Sunday.

One of the stories told of our mother, Josette, was that a little one spoke their first word at her burial while looking down at the beauty of her decorated shroud: "flower." After the celebration, we brought all the flowers from her vigil and memorial to her grave and covered her in a blanket of blossoms.

As most of you know, one of Josette's passions was her work with vegetables, flowers, trees, and animals at her beloved Shipki Farm. Before her accident, Josette had begun the process of seeding several trays of veggie and herb starts, in part assisted by her grandchildren. Our goal is to keep the farm, chickens, and Josette's beloved goats, thriving as they were under her hand. We would like to invite the community to volunteer to plant, weed, and work to complete Josette's work of getting the farm off to another bountiful season.

Farm Days will be Fridays from 12pm-4pm

There will also be tasks and projects outlined each week for those unable to attend Fridays. Volunteers can enjoy fresh veggies throughout the summer! We love you, our incredible community!
