The Yale Earth Care Committee makes a compost volunteer schedule for the spring. Check out those reusable plates!

Jumping in the Leaf Pile

We were about to build the compost bin when Scott spotted the leaf pile. We jumped in it, Scott did some death-defying front flips, and Justin used his remote controlled camera (note the remote in his right hand). One thing led to another...

Cold Frame: Lettuce in December

Florence, Sam, and Mike worked hard to build these cold-weather shelters for our salad greens. We're growing nasturtiums, spinach, lettuce, raddish, and the occasional mum.

Fall Photos

Had to climb up the larch tree to take this shot.

Farm volunteers planting winter greens. We will put them under a cold frame when the frost comes.
