| NEW DIRT Cultivating Community Health through Agriculture, Access, & Affordability Share Tweet Forward  FROM THE GROUND We hope you have been enjoying the plentiful snowfall as much as we have! We are thankful for our infrastructure – our high tunnels, greenhouses and now a recently finished Wash/Pack House (woohoo!) – that supports our season extension efforts and keeps our cold-hardy crops protected from the wintry mix. Our new Wash/Pack house is fully constructed, thanks to Servants Inc. LLC of Red Lion, PA! All that remains is the final electrical and plumbing work to ensure we have hot water lines to our three-bay sink for winter vegetable preparation as well as overhead lighting for evening tasks. You can see the process in our photo compilation below!We also invite you to visit our DONATE button at the bottom of this newsletter to fund the finishing of our Season Extension Projects – full accomodations in the Wash/Pack House, High Tunnel Winterization & so much more x Keep reading to see how these Season Extension Projects are already making an impact in our community & helping to feed our neighbors through the colder months of the year; the potential for increased impact is great through continuing infrastructural improvements at Willis Urban Farm. RECIPE OF THE WEEK Inspired by our Final 2020 Winter Share delivered this past week, we encourage you to try this warming & hearty Skillet Lemon Chicken with Potatoes & Kale:   2020 YEAR END REPORT      ON THE STREET We had a successful Mobile Produce Market Extension, offering a few of our market stops until the Thanksgiving Holiday, including: – rabbittransit Bus Center – CPC/WIC Office – York Towne House All hosted markets were well received and confirmed our inclinations that offering our Mobile Produce Market more than 6 months out the year is welcomed by our customers and needed by our community to maintain the health of our neighbors.
