Saturday, Aug 8th, 10:00 am - 12:30 pm at Alemany Farm

Instructor: Vanessa Lieu & Herison Leitao
This is an IN-PERSON workshop.

Come to Alemany Farm and learn about the basics of when, why, and how to prune apples and stone fruit trees, with an emphasis on summer pruning. This class will focus on the basics of tree biology and care to encourage a healthy and productive fruit tree. There will be a group lecture, followed by smaller breakout groups to look at trees and talk through strategies and how to approach a pruning session.
Note: This class will not focus on citrus trees, though the high level basics of citrus pruning can be discussed.

ok have u ever felt a love so big so deep so overw ok have u ever felt a love so big so deep so overwhelmingly all-encompassing that u cant even think of a singular word to describe how grateful u r for a team of farmers who have taught u everything u know about what it means to be a human in this world ?? every day i remember AND learn for the first time how to steward land and ppl and ourselves and each other with love care patience respect trust vulnerability and mistakes imperfections apologies trauma and then i remember it and learn it all again the next day and the day after that and the day after that !

i get lost in the evershifting landscape of the clouds and the willow and the soil and then i get lost in these snapshots of such beautiful faces. my heart could burst when i think about all the devastation and joy and histories and futures that we hold within the outlines of our selves and in the spaces that connect us. i cry when i think of how much of our lives we have poured into this earth and how all that energy is transmuted thru water and sun and earth and microbes into fruits and vegetables and flowers. so many of our ancestors and our friends and our family and kin shedding spirit and blood into this soil at the hands of cruel cruel bullies, and so much power and courage in the refusal of that way of being. i have never felt so much hope for the possibility of a different world 

it is possible !
it will require and take so much of us, but it is possible !! 

ok this has been a mess of a caption. what am i even saying anymore ?!? 

essentially, this: a hundred thousand million gazillion thank u's to all who pass thru the farm and especially especially especially to the extraordinary farm team at alemany (past present and future ! so many unpictured !!) who every damn day are shaping new worlds and new beings on this tiny piece of land we tend

essentially, this: this is a love letter. thank u for yalls endless love. i love u all so so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

❤️
Y'all we are still glowing from our incredible Din Y'all we are still glowing from our incredible Dinner On the Farm event this weekend. 

Chefs Ivan Jurado and Gabi Espinosa cooked for us, bringing in love, care, farm veggies, and the best grilling playlist we've yet to hear.

Our volunteers led a harvest for guests and transformed the olive tree pathway into a truly special community table. 

We talked about the future of the farm, about how each of us can support food justice, about economic justice, and being a part of thriving ecosystems in our beloved city. It was a joy and an honor to create the space for these conversations. 

Thank you to all who participated 🌳😌🥗
