Antioch College farm activity in “full swing”

Students working on the farm

Students play a significant role in the Antioch Farm’s regular operations.

Marianthe Bickett ’15, student farm assistant, offers an update on the latest activity at the Antioch Farm.

With the start of the co-op term, Sam Senzek and I have been working full time out at the farm. The farming season is in full swing. This warmer spring has sped up production from our greenhouse, and we’ve been delivering harvests of spinach, Swiss chard, collards, radishes, and salad greens twice a week to our kitchen. Our chef, Isaac Delamatre, recently whipped up some cilantro-mint pesto and nettle soup with spearmint and stinging nettles from our food forest.
