Crocuses are peeking through the leaves at Freetown Farm and telling us that Spring is surely on its way! We invite everyone to come and see what else is on its way at the farm 👀

Sometimes a title says it all.
Come out to Freetown Farm this Saturday from 10-2 to get some basil (UP TO YOUR EYEBALLS), cucumbers, peppers, and squash. No pre-orders necessary this week! #columbiamd #hocomd

[Community Ecology Institute @CEI_111]

Follow the link to the ordering form!

[Community Ecology Institute @CEI_111]

It's that time again! Pre-ordering is open for Saturday's farmer's market! You can support CEI (and your taste buds) by ordering online and coming to pick up your produce at the farm. We can't wait to see your smiling faces :)

(1/2) 6.3-acre Freetown Farm, founded by Community Ecology Institute (@CEI_111) in Maryland, has a long history of sustainability, but wasn’t always protected. Last summer, we provided CEI a bridge loan to purchase the #farm and secure their future. ⤵️

Thank you @HoCoGovExec for your support in enabling us to purchase #FreetownFarm and growing it into an innovative community center. We hope you enjoyed the tour of the farm!

@TravellingAnnF @macsmom If you’d like to volunteer, you can come any day! But the markets are only on Saturdays.
