Feed Fannin’s Mittleider Garden has been relocated to the Fannin County Family Connection on Industrial Park Drive in Blue Ridge and is settling into its new digs fairly well.
It is approaching the Fourth of July weekend as I write this article. I am happy to report that the Feed Fannin garden was planted this spring brought some needed normalcy to my world.
This is the end of the second growing season for the Mittleider Garden, our showcase experimental garden. Because of the unique soil mixture Mittleider gardens use, the plants establish deep roots, require less water and the beds suffer fewer weeds than standard gardening methods.
It has been a fun, hard-working, educational and expensive summer. Our tractor spent the latter part of the summer in the hospital having transmission surgery, but I am happy to report it has made a full recovery! Here are some of the activities from the garden this summer.
Educating and encouraging our community towards self-sufficiency while providing food for those in need.
Feed Fannin’s website, software upgrades and social media outreach are made possible
through generous support from the George Link Jr. Charitable Trust.
