Nurturing Soil, Soul -- and Chickens!!
MCC is embarking on another
sustainable agriculture project: We have a beautiful
garden -- why not throw in some chickens? The chicken
ministry will include the sale of eggs to raise money to buy
chicks for those less fortunate through Heifer
International, or donated to a local food pantry. Lucas Schneider
and fellow Boy Scouts are building a coop for
us for his Eagle Project. The coop will be locate on
the southwest corner of the garden. We'll acquire six lovely
laying hens in mid-June to start out flock. We are
calling on members to help us care for the chickens through
the summer. Care is simple and will include just feeding
and watering. and you're welcome to collect and enjoy
any eggs you find during your chicken-care tenure, which
would include just three days in one week: Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. This will be a fun and educational
experience for children, so we're encouraging families to to
get involved. Please contact Jeff, or Lisa Bauer at lisabauer@tds.net, or
Maureen Barry at mbarry_landscape@yahoo.com with your questions.
