FACULTY ORIENTATION
9am-10am
Tuesday, September 24 and Wednesday, September 25 (come to one)
Join us for our first faculty orientation! Are you a professor, instructor, or program administrator at Kingsborough Community College? Are you considering using the farm in your classes? Come take a tour and brainstorm some ideas with fellow faculty. We will showcase some of the educational resources we have available for faculty to borrow, demonstrate one of the activities found in our curriculum package, and provide structured time for faculty to discuss their ideas with each other and with farm staff.

Planting Fall Crops

TIME FOR FALL CROPS
As the days get shorter and the season winds down, we’re once again planting cool-weather crops. Lettuce, kale, collard greens, radishes, broccoli, turnips, mustard greens, and Asian greens, to name but a few, have already been planted, and will be harvested now through the rest of the year.
