Zine 4, Spring 2022
Hey everyone!
We hope everyone had a nice sedar if you celebrated! This week we don’t have a zine for you but we do have a little journal to update y’all on all our farm shenanigans :)
On Monday we planted beets and other fun things in goat garden, yay! We had a spontaneous dinner outside in the grass and watched the sunset; it was lovely.
On Tuesday Gavriel guided us through some pesach and sedar customs and traditions! It was cool to think about what pesach means to each of us and what we would like to embody during the upcoming week.
On Wednesday we said goodbye to Maya who is spending pesach with their family in California. We love you Maya! We loved learning and spending time with you and we miss you already. You’re a rad radish! We also said bye to Gavriel who drove Maya to the airport and is going to visit Orly for Passover, missing you here, come back, we love you!!
On Thursday Dani and Lexi finished planting golden and red beets in miracle garden, yay! Shout out to Matt for up-planting our tomato seedlings into bigger pots and soil blocks! Shoutout to Isabelle, JR, and Johnny for navigating basalt truck deliveries.
This week we also put together a beehive with JR’s old beehive materials from the basement! We coated our beehive structure with a mixture of tung oil and citrus oil.
On Friday we transplanted kale into goat garden and covered them with hay to suppress weeds, keep them moist and insulated, kale yeah! Hopefully our dear deer friends don’t eat our kale seedlings since we don’t have our fences up and going yet. We had a wonderful cedar, both Friday and Saturday and we hope you did too. We added an orange to our cedar plate to symbolize the fruitfulness queer folks and women bring to Jewish customs and tradition. Read more about oranges on sedar plates here. We also used beets as a replacement for our lamb bone and instead of an egg we used a spring violet.
So much love and hugs from us here at the farm,
Matt, Isabelle, Lexi, and Dani
