The Adam Joseph Lewis Center: Garden Makeover
The garden is getting a fall makeover! Students have been working out in the garden all afternoon tilling our garden beds and getting ready to plant fall crops. We’ve already planted beets, spinach, lettuce, and garlic. Now it’s time to set up our beds with cover crops and row covers for winter…
Local Foods Fest this Saturday!
Gear up for the local foods fest at the AJLC this Saturday between 1:00-4:00. During this fest, AJLC staff will be working in the garden getting the last summer crops harvested, preserved and ready for over-wintering. We would love all the volunteer power we can muster on Saturday to keep our grounds healthy through winter. Learn some organic practices, a bit of permaculture, and some about preservation, or just ask us questions! Hope to see you there!

Produce!
We had a bountiful harvest of green beans, tomatoes, and squash today! We’ll be donating a lot of our harvest to OCS. We’re also still sun-drying a ton of the tomatoes, so that they preserve. Oh summertime, we wish you’d never end!
The Adam Joseph Lewis Center: Busy busy busy...
It’s been a busy past to weeks in the garden here at the AJLC. Yesterday, we harvested 2 gallons (WOAH!) of tomatoes and donated them to OCS! We also have a ton of squash coming in, mainly summer butternut and pattypan varieties. Our grapes have also completely ripened. Yum! Since the summer is…
Solar Dehydration
Our newly built solar food dehydrator is up and running! We have dehydrated cherry and pear tomatoes, dill, oregano, chives, mint, as well as seed pods (for saving seeds for next year’s planting season) in the past week, and it has been wildly successful! Check it out:
From left to right: Dried chives, oregano and mint, two jars of dill, saved marigold seeds, and sun-dried tomatoes.
Food preservation is awesome!

The Adam Joseph Lewis Center: A Much Delayed Grounds Update
Hi Followers!
So last week was pretty ridiculous just trying to catch up with all the growth these oddball sunny Oberlin days have brought (that in conjunction with the fact that Kevin was also gone last week).
First of all, all of the Queen Anne’s Lace is gone. I’m sure for all of the…
