Anza shows us how to prepare a bed for planting using the method of “double digging.”

Where Holst meets Glendale was washed out so the directions to get to Maha Farm from the ferry are a bit different now. Use the map below if you are coming from the ferry and want to get here. The difference is that you turn right on Deer Lake Rd, then left on Cultus Bay, then left on Glendale. This brings you to Maha Farm from the other side of Glendale Rd.

We will continue to add to our “Backyard Farm Guide to Farming” which will explain organic farming from start to finish.
Update, spring 2012: Note that we are in the middle of the growing season and hope to continue with more information in the fall.
