SARATOGA SPRINGS — Pitney Meadows will be hosting a community forum on Sunday, March 31 at the Upper Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs. Pitney Meadows Community Farm is once again returning to the community for input on the vision and strategic planning of this unique community asset.
Board will introduce the public to new staff and 2019 plans for farming the land, as well as ask for feedback about the proposed trail plan for the property and introduce the phase three expansions of the Community Gardens.
The two-hour session will bring together board members, city and county officials, volunteers, and community members for a discussion of the Farm’s future as an agricultural resource center focused on innovation in sustainable agriculture, community education, and recreation. Break-out sessions will focus on programs and education, partnerships, recreation, food justice, art on the farm (“articulture”), and much more. Starling Studios, a Saratoga Springs-based production company, will be on hand as well to audio record any Forum participant who has a story to tell about their experience of the Farm either recently or from when the Pitney family owned it as part of the organization’s efforts to document the history of the Farm.
Limited space. Reservations are requested and can be made at: www.pitneymeadowscommunityfarm.org/event/save-the-date-upcoming-community-forum.
