Estongo fam! Some of the many goals here at Hummingbird Springs Farm is to improve soil health, attract beneficial insects, increase native plant biodiversity, and improve mycorrhizal growth in the soil. To do that, we will be planting cover crops over the entire farm. Link to Facebook Event here

We just purchased a beautiful cover crop seed blend of:

Common Alfalfa

Shoshone Sainfoin

Red Clover

White Sweet Clover

Yellow Sweet Clover

Hairy Vetch

Hayden Spring Oats

Elbon Cereal Rye

Kale

Baldy Safflower

Super Bee Phacelia

Boston Plantain

Trigger Chickory

and Small Burnett

The problem is, we don't have heavy farm equipment, and will be casting 1400 pounds (yes. 1400 pounds) of seed by hand.

We need your help! Come help us to cast cover crop seed! We can teach you all about the benefits of cover crops.

It will be a weekend of comradery with our Southeastern Indigenous relatives as we celebrate our resistance and resilience in the face of the November Holiday that shall not be named.

~The two days prior to the event (Nov 24 and 25) will be the Poarch Creek powwow in Atmore, AL- you should stop by on the way here!~

To show our appreciation for your help, one of our Southeastern relatives will demonstrate Indigenous fingerweaving technique and allow folks to start on their own fingerweaving textile. (Fingerweaving supplies will be given to a limited group of 12 people maximum, with children and BIPOC as priority)

Everyone is welcome to camp, or fish: bring your gear!

We will play stickball, and have a feast!

Please bring: Work gloves, a bucket or cloth sack for the seed, and a covered dish for our potluck feast!
