West View Urban Farm

06/22/2025

Yesterday, West View Urban Farm had the privilege to meet the owners of Carlton Hill Farm and learn from them about raising rabbits. We are so grateful for Alexis and Sean's willingness to speak with me and the amazing Scouts who have selected our farm for the Silver Award project.

Please consider giving them a follow. Fellow gardeners, they sell rabbit droppings, which are an incredibly nutrient-rich source for your soil. They also sell ethically raised-rabbit meat, sustainable quail eggs and meat, and free-range chicken meat.

Located in Parkersburg, WV, they operate a farm stand where their products can be purchased. Who is up for a road trip?

Despite the high temps, D&D is still happening tomorrow (June 22). Instead of melting at West View Urban Farm, we will be meeting at West View HUB in the library at 3PM. We will begin with creating characters for new players. Makenna and Sam will then host a one shot to acquaint everyone with the game.

Please note: Players are not expected to attend every week, although you are a rock star if you do! We asked people to use the QR code to sign up so we can communicate with the adults in case there are changes, like the venue 🤣, or if we need to contact you during the campaign.

There will be snacks!

If you have ever been at West View Urban Farm after 10am when the sun is out in the summertime, you will understand why we are canceling farm hours tomorrow and Monday. 🔥☀️🫠

Thank you United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania for the mini grant so we can safely wash and store food. Thank you Alice Kenney for the plant clips (and cookies). Thank you Mother Nature for the compost, which replicates our soil.

Starting next Sunday and led by Makenna and Sam, West View Urban Farm will host D&D for youth ages 10+. Kids aren’t expected to attend every week, but we ask that you sign up via the QR code. In addition to contact info, the form helps us learn about player experience and any food allergy concerns.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at the West View HUB, which graciously opened its doors to us as a rain location. Thank you! We are so glad to spend meaningful time with our community!

We are moving farm hours a half hour this morning to 10:30 so we can get kids to activities. We hope to see you this morning. We have planting and weeding to do. Help us grow! ❤️

We hate canceling volunteer hours, but we have thunder and lightning right now. Let’s try for Wednesday!
What do ya say, Mother Nature?

Thank you West View HUB for having West View Urban Farm out for Hub Fest earlier this week. We are proud to partner with this organization and thankful they help fill the gaps in our community.

For those who don’t know, the Hub was started by a group of volunteers 6 years ago and it has benefited West View so much. We encourage you to get a library card, borrow books, and attend the free programs! They have a lot of summer offerings!
