FLOOD RECOVERY UPDATE
OUR RECOVERY FROM HELENE GOES ON
We are in the process of building Springhouse Farm back better than ever before! Hurricane Helene may have washed away our Farm Stand, hundreds of perennial plants, and a lot of our precious topsoil, but we are bouncing back with a renewed appreciation of our farm and the community that supports us.
Some exciting farm projects are coming up this spring: restoring and rebuilding our streambanks and building a new farm stand with the help of ASU's Building Sciences class. Stay tuned for more news and photos of our recovery.
