So we are 12 young people getting to know each other and ourselves in an awesome two-story, two-kitchen house on a biking boulevard in Berkeley, California :) You are probably wondering why we are here, and even more so, why this is slightly worth discussing. Well, just three blocks from us between the Missouri Lounge/Bar and Black Oak Bookstore is a one-acre plot of land. Thus far abandoned, with our help, this empy lot is quickly becoming an organic, sustainable, and so far temporary, farm.
Under the professional guidance of a handful of highly competent and intelligent adults, more experienced and somewhat older than ourselves, we are building planter beds, greenhouses, and a composting system from which we hope to grow delicious, nutritious and organic veggies. Yummmmm!
The best part is that the food grown here will go free of charge to hungry people. What could be better?
Also, on June 19th we will be having a farm opening event. If you are interested please visit urbanadamah.org
There will be lots of fun workshops and food and you can see all the exciting things we are up to.
Below is a link to a youtube video that was created by those highly competent and intelligent adults, more experienced and somewhat older than ourselves, which explains how to easily create a 4' X 4' X 1.5' planter bed from a cheap hardwood pallet. Enjoy!

On a final note: If you ever thought that it would be insanely fun to play hide and seek in a huge house with plenty of sneaky hiding places with eleven other people late at night, you were right.
