The season ended at the Three Rivers Farmers Market last week, but we've been enjoying our little stand too much to quit just as so much produce is becoming available in Southwest Michigan. So, we're working with a number of folks to continue a market in downtown Three Rivers: the Downtown Harvest Market! The Market will be...
A couple of weeks ago, Rob arrived at the Huss Project to find the yard around the community garden strewn with vegetables. We'd been battling a woodchuck nemesis, and also a possum, but this was too sophisticated for those critters, if you can call throwing tomatoes at the windows "sophisticated." Let's just say, it was...
Dane from Flowerfield Enterprises was gracious enough to come out last Monday evening to Triple Ripple Community Garden to teach a group of us about making compost tea, which is a natural fertilizer that helps balance the bacteria and fungi in our soil. We were all very impressed by the depth of his knowledge about...
Join us every Thursday from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. this summer at the Three Rivers Farmers Market! The Huss Project is partnering with several local farms -- including Bair Lane Farm, White Yarrow Farm and Sustainable Greens -- and with Triple Ripple Community Garden to sell good, local food to our neighbors. We'll also...
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and we are smiling. We've started to get the Triple Ripple Community Garden up and running at the Huss Project for its fifth season. A few beds have been cleared, fence has been put up, and we've even put some seeds in the ground. In the picture...
Last Monday was definitely our last *cino volunteer staff meeting in the un-heated Huss Project building -- in spite of the space heaters, I was shivering so much, I couldn't write legibly. We are SO looking forward to having a heated room, hopefully by the end of this year! In the meantime, we've continued to take...
In the mid-morning light on July 20, as the tents were rising from the ground for Huss Future Fest 2013, friends and neighbors gathered to witness the dedication of a new garden bench for the Huss Project. The bench, donated by Peggy Deames from Love Your Mother, is made of recycled milk jugs and, as...
One thing is for sure: we in the *cino community love food. We love growing, cooking, blessing, eating and sharing it (not so much the doing-the-dishes part). And so, one of the things we all delight in is the range of delicious food and beverages featured each year at the Huss Future Festival. You can...
This past Saturday, volunteers for Triple Ripple Community Garden at the Huss Project gathered to work together on some much needed projects. We had seven volunteers come out, enabling us to accomplish a wonderful amount of work in less time than we bargained for. What did we get done? We staked and caged all the tomato...
So much of what you've been hearing from us over the past few months has been related to our current Brick Campaign, which is an effort to raise money to secure *cino's ownership of the Huss property and begin infrastructure improvements so we can host fun, creative programming year round. We still need all the...
There may be snow on the ground, but just as snow provides necessary moisture for spring growth, winter planning is a must for Triple Ripple Community Gardens! Now is the time that we're gathering resources for the coming growing season, including volunteers and organizers. Check out this nifty online form you can fill out to communicate...
