Gardeners at the farm are asked to make a commitment to the following guidelines:

1. Maintain your plot(s), adjacent pathways, & help to maintain the "commons" (e.g, garden perimeter, common compost, etc.).
2. Commit 2 hours per month to work together at common tasks (e.g., clean-up efforts).
3. No chemicals are to be used in garden plots. Alternative methods of pest and weed control include row covers, digging out quack grass, collecting potato beetles, mulching, etc.
4. Conserve water and respect other gardeners and their plots/produce. The neighborly approach to other gardeners is to share work, ideas, and the food you grow.

Join the garden. Join the board. It's fun.
