Cover cropping benefits us all

Our friends at Square Roots Farm have built a bee paradise. Not only do they grow a cornucopia of produce but they also employ cover cropping in their unused fields to naturally fertilize and provide forage for our pollinator friends. A favorite of theirs is Phacelia (pictured below), a cousin of vetch. It makes a light, beautiful honey.

The circle represents a 3 mile forage radius around the Third Ward location.
