The Stew Crew is fresh off a week of bridge building (literally), so they decided to mix it up a bit for this week’s work party!
Meet the team at Matsuda Farm to give the Mary Matsuda Gruenwald forest some TLC. We’ll be limbing, creating branch piles, and hunting down invasive plants.
Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and bring plenty of hydration. Blackberries are pokey, so wear long sleeves! We'll have gloves, tools, and everything else you need 🍪

It's certainly starting to feel like fall out at Matsuda Farm! The Delicata squash is nearly ready, followed by the pumpkins and butternuts. While these crops don't need quite as much constant attention, there is still a ton to get done as we prep for deliveries to VISD, the Food Bank, and the Farmer's Market! Hope you can join in on the fun this Friday!

Do you have a personal vendetta against Himalayan blackberry, but still savor those berries in the waning days of summer? We understand your plight.
