Our farm is getting green and excited for summer to arrive and for our incoming interns to stop on by and grow some crops. In the meantime, Fresh Roots Farm waits in anticipation.

Behold the very first day of the MEVO Summer Interns in 2016. We had a hike to get everyone together and learn about the plans for the summer. We’re plannin a similar hike for all our interns this summer. For details, email us at ericjfs@mevoearth.org

Observe the MEVO Satoh Tractor from when we first picked it up at Cropsey Community Farm in New York. Now this tractor has been put to work at our educational farm, moving compost, and making things happen.

The MEVO Summer Interns of 2016, along with friends, MEVO Board Membes, and the one and only MEVO Executive Director Eric Fuchs-Stengel, pose for a group photo as the sun sets on Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York.

We plan on visiting the Ashram this year again, and hope to have a whole new batch of interns along for the ride.

A proud volunteer stands over the bricks and paving stones MEVO uses all over our Fresh Roots Educational Farm. Keep your eye out for the grey paving stones in particular, because they’re a key part of our new greenhouse.

Compost is an important organic fertilizer, which is why our volunteers take the time to spread it around our educational farm to make sure our crops get the nutrition we need, and why donors give a lot of it to our farm. Go compost!
