Join us July 20-21, 2024 for a Farm Hack workshop at Smithereen Farm in Pembroke, Maine.
During this workshop each participant will build their own GARDEN CART, led by Farm Hack Fellow Liz Baumhoff. This farm and garden cart is versatile, hard working, made out of bent, galvanized steel conduit and bicycle wheels, and is constructed with easily-acquired materials using basic shop equipment.
It is designed to: straddle a standard 30-inch garden bed, hold one level of three harvest crates, easily disassemble and reassemble for ease of transportation, and be cheaper to construct than a standard commercial cart. The inside can easily be skinned in plywood if preferred. Come build with us!
- There is a $250 fee to cover the cost of materials. Let us know if you are interested but need financial assistance.
- People under 18 years old are welcome to attend with parent or guardian supervision.
- Signup deadline is July 1.
- More details about exact time and location will be sent to registered participants. The bulk of the workshop will take place on July 20, with July 21 as an as-needed day for completing the project, clean-up, and conversation.
