May Day Celebration Sunday
at Peacework

A May Day Celebration at Peacework Farm is set for Sunday, May 4 from 2 to 6 p.m. at Peacework Farm, Welcher Road, outside of Newark.

At 2 o'clock, fiddler Kit Fallon will accompany the dancing around the May Pole.

Leona Lauster will lead a wildflower walk in the woods of the Kraai Preserve.

There will be tours of the land, the old Humbert dairy farm, now owned by the Genesee Land Trust and leased to Peacework Farm. At 4:30, there is a potluck supper. Please bring a dish to pass, a place setting and folding chairs. The farm will provide drinks.

If you would like to join in Community Supported Agriculture and get a share of Peacework produce every week from mid-May through November, please come early to the local orientation meeting. The sign-up meeting will be on Sunday, at 1 p.m. at the farm.

The Peacework farmers grow over 200 varieties of 70 crops to supply weekly packets for close to 300 families. Joining the CSA is a good way to save money if you want to feed your family organic produce at a reasonable price.

Peacework welcomes families with children and offers Children's Days, when Roland Micklem, Wayne County naturalist, leads the children on nature walks.
