The creation of the tables is quite a process. First we leveled out the land so the tables will be flat.
Next the J.A.S. team assembled and put up gabions that will form the base of the tables.
Then they filled the gabions with large rocks. The volunteers carted each and every rock from a pile to the gabions by wheelbarrow - hard work!
Finally they closed up the gabions on three sides - a tricky job done by twisting a spiral wire through two sides of the wire cage.
Next week they will fill in the top of the gabions with smaller rocks to level out the surface and begin pouring concrete to solidify the structure. Finally, the table tops will be added and then we get to start using our Community Space!
Our farm is taking shape little by little, and we could not have gotten where we are without the generous support of local organizations and businesses like J.A.S. Thanks for your hard work!
We're getting our compost and manure at the end of April, so stay tuned for updates from the beginning of our growing season!
