(Español abajo) Compost incoming! We are opening compost hub #2 at La Finquita on August 22. Come and sign up to bring household food scraps to the hub for free! For a limited time, all new members will receive a free countertop compost bucket!

Let’s keep valuable resources here in our community instead of sending them away! Good soil = good food.

This project is funded by Community Composter Coalition and the free buckets are funded by the Carlos Vega Fund for Social Justice.

¡Mantengamos recursos valiosos aquí en nuestra comunidad en lugar de enviarlos fuera! Buen suelo = buenos alimentos.

Fun was had by all at our bucket planter workshop on Friday at Dwight Street Garden! We discussed land access and food sovereignty, drilled drainage holes, shoveled dirt and planted seedlings. Growing food in buckets gives us a way to grow food in small or rented spaces and create community self-reliance within a food desert (Holyoke, a city of 38,000 has only 2 major grocery stores and lots of bodegas). We also gave participants bags of compost made at Dwight Street Garden at ‘s Community Compost Hub! The free workshop was co-sponsored by and .

¡Todos se divirtieron en nuestro taller de siembra en cubos, celebrado el viernes en el Dwight Street Garden! Conversamos sobre el acceso a la tierra y la soberanía alimentaria, perforamos orificios de drenaje, paleamos tierra y plantamos plantones. Cultivar alimentos en cubos nos ofrece una forma de producir comida en espacios pequeños o alquilados, y de fomentar la autosuficiencia comunitaria dentro de un desierto alimentario (Holyoke, una ciudad de 38.000 habitantes, cuenta con solo dos grandes supermercados y una gran cantidad de bodegas). ¡Además, entregamos a los participantes bolsas de compost elaborado en el propio Dwight Street Garden, en el Centro Comunitario de Compostaje de !
