Two weeks ago Channel 6 news came to the farm to interview
teacher Jess McAtamney and her class. Jess was recently awarded the Champion of
Change award for her leadership as one of the advisors to the FFA (formerly
known as the Future Farmers of America) chapter at Saul High School. Jess
received recognition of her honor at the White House last week.
Gardening at Southern for a PHeaST
The Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society (PHS) hosted a fundraiser last Friday, October 19th
at the Navy Yard. Urban farmers were paired with restaurants to provide locally
grown ingredients for dishes that were tasted by participants. PHS is a long
standing partner with Weavers Way and Henry Got Crops. Matt and Chris from the
Henry Got Crops staff represented our farm at the event. The other farm
mentioned in the article, in addition to HGC, is the farm at South Philly High,
started by Molly Devinney, Henry Got Crops Apprentice in 2011.
