Intern(s) Needed:
We are partnering with the deli in Queen Creek to resume farming operations in the fall at our Queen Creek location. We need one or two hard working interns to help us with this endeavor. This will be a volunteer opportunity (no monetary compensation) assisting with field work. Duties may weeding, planting, soil prep, harvesting, composting, irrigation, etc. Hours will vary as needed and will be somewhat flexible. This is a wonderful opportunity for students seeking practical field experience or anybody that has a few extra hours, a couple days a week, to learn more about farming and gardening.
If you or anyone you know is interested or would like more information please feel free to call or e-mail
Sunflower Shoots at the deli
We dropped off some freshly harvested, nutrient dense, and organically grown sunflower shoots at the deli this week. According to Christopher J. Kline at suite101.com, sunflower shoots are a nutritional “super food” made up of almost 25% protein and are a rich source of vitamins A, B complex, D, and E minerals including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, and zinc. Yes, but can they leap tall buildings in a single bound?
Maybe you should leap on down to the deli in Queen Creek and give them a try. Ask Chef Blake for the special with the “sunflower shoots” from Crooked Carrot Farm.
