2009Solid Rock Farm season begins: YEAR 3! As of February, we already have a master growing plan for this summer, seeds planted in cold frames for later transplanting, and big dreams for an abundance of food. Please learn about the farm.
Now accepting new members: We're accepting up to 45 paying members this year - that's our estimate of the traffic we can accomodate at the farm. If you're interested, click for more information.
In the space of 24 hours we went from people dreaming about someday adding another local farm to our community to being offered a ten year lease on six acres of great land on Howard Flats!
A Spirit of Cooperation Our valley is buzzing with activity.
Locally grown and locally supported agriculture is growing stronger.
Better Economics: Dollars spent at Chelan-owned businesses stay in Chelan. Local circulation is often 3 times more than money spent at national chains.
Better Community: Local businesses contribute more to our schools and community events.
Better Leadership: Local ownership provides long term commitment to the health and progress of our valley.
Better Food: Food travels an average of 1400 miles before it reaches your dinner table. Local agriculture provides delicious food, saves energy, and helps our environment.
What is a local living economy? A local living economy provides secure and fulfilling livelihoods for all people, works in harmony with natural systems, supports biological and cultural diversity, and fosters a community life. (www.balleseattle.org)
