🖋️ Join us at Pitney Meadows Community Farm for Explore to Learn: Poetry from the Land, a FREE six-part poetry writing series led by acclaimed author, storyteller, educator, citizen, and elder of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, and former Saratoga Springs Poet Laureate, Joseph Bruchac. The series kicks off THIS WEEK on Friday, June 5th at 5:00pm! Sign up: https://www.pitneymeadowscommunityfarm.org/explore-to-learn-poetry-from-the-land

✨ Workshops are FREE to attend with a suggested donation. Ages 12+.
�🍃 Participants are encouraged to attend the full series for the best experience, but all are welcome to join for individual sessions!

🌱 On Friday, June 5th, kick off “Poetry from the Land” with us and slow down and look closely at the often-overlooked details of the land in “Noticing the Small.” From the veins of a leaf to the movement of insects through the soil, we’ll focus our attention on the small moments that make up a larger ecosystem. We’ll practice deep observation and translate these quiet discoveries into vivid, grounded writing.

💭 Together, participants will let their minds and pens wander through fields glowing in evening light, listen closely to the quiet movement of the natural world, and discover how the land itself can spark powerful, deeply personal writing. Rooted in observation, imagination, memory, and reflection, this series invites writers of all experience levels to slow down, notice more deeply, and put those discoveries into words!

🌱 Whether you’re a lifelong writer, an occasional journaler, or simply someone curious about seeing the world differently, there is space for you here!

☕ Saturday mornings at the farm just got even better!

🥐 Picture this: a fresh latte from Saratoga Sundry in hand, a pastry from Flour Child Bakery, the sounds of the farm waking up around you, and a morning full of community ahead… or the perfect reward waiting for you after a beautiful morning spent connecting, moving, and gathering together.

☕ We’re excited to welcome Saratoga Sundry to the Farm on Saturdays! Serving up handcrafted coffee, espresso drinks, tea, cold brews, and a selection of delicious baked goods from Flour Child Bakery in Glens Falls, Saratoga Sundry brings their signature blend of quality, creativity, and community spirit right to the farm!

🥐 Start your morning with yoga, join our Community Crew in the fields or gardens, explore the trails, shop the Farm Stand, and treat yourself to a coffee and pastry while you’re here!

☕ See you Saturday!

⚠️ Oh deer! A Friendly Trail Reminder!

🦌 One of the many benefits of farming at Pitney Meadows is being surrounded by beautiful natural green spaces right in the middle of the city. Those same landscapes also provide excellent habitat for wildlife, including the many deer that call this area home.

🌱 While we love sharing our farm with local wildlife, deer can have a significant impact on crops, often feeding on young plants and vegetables before they ever reach harvest. To help protect the food we are growing for you and our community, we’ve upgraded our deer fencing operations around the farm.

⚠️ The fencing is electric and actively working to discourage deer from entering growing areas. It delivers a brief, harmless shock that teaches deer to avoid the fence without causing injury. We’ve noticed a few curious trail explorers testing it out as well, so we wanted to offer a reminder that the fence is active and should not be touched at any time.

🌱 If you’re visiting the farm and enjoying our trails, please help us by avoiding contact with the fencing and reminding children and furry friends to do the same. Your awareness helps us protect our crops, reduce food loss, and continue growing nourishing, local food for our community!

🌿Garden Art Gathering: A Monthly Creative Gathering! Join us! 

🎨Starting Tuesday, June 2nd, and continuing every first Tuesday of the month through the warm season, we invite you to join us for a peaceful and inspiring evening of creativity in the heart of the Community Garden. Free and open to all! No sign-up needed!

🌻Imagine this: you’re sitting under the pergola, a warm breeze rustling the leaves, surrounded by blooming flowers, buzzing pollinators, and the joyful energy of the garden in full swing. With a sketchbook in hand, you’re guided to slow down and see… the curve of a tendril, the symmetry of a leaf, the way the light dances through petals.

🌸 This isn’t a formal art class, but a welcoming space for you to connect with nature through art with fellow creatives! We’ll offer gentle guidance inspired by the art of nature journaling, encouraging you to observe, reflect, and express. Whether you prefer illustration, painting, journaling, collage, or any other form of artistic expression, this gathering is about tapping into your own way of seeing and creating.

💐Bring your favorite materials! All skill levels are welcome, from curious beginners to seasoned artists!

🎨A heartfelt thank you to Tracy for sharing her artistry and leading this gathering! We can’t wait to create with you!

🔥 Help fuel the fire! Become a 2026 Fire Feast Sponsor Today! https://www.pitneymeadowscommunityfarm.org/fire-feast

🔥 On Tuesday, August 4th, our 2026 Fire Feast will mark an incredible milestone: ten years of community, stewardship, and growth at Pitney Meadows Community Farm. What started as a shared vision for a community-centered farm has blossomed into a thriving space for nourishment, education, connection, and care for the land.

🔥 This year’s Fire Feast is more than a celebration...it’s a celebration of the people, partnerships, and shared purpose that have shaped the past decade. As we look ahead to the next ten years, we’re inviting businesses and community supporters to join us as 2026 sponsors.

🔥 Sponsorships directly support local food access initiatives, environmental stewardship, hands-on education, and community programming that continue to strengthen our region and local food system.

🔥 As the fire burns bright for our tenth Fire Feast, we celebrate everything this community has helped cultivate… and everything still to come. We’d be honored to have you stand with us.

🔥 Huge thanks to Justin Cerone + Tesseract Studios for capturing the magic of last year’s Fire Feast in this incredible video!
