Spring is here! | Apr 12, 2010
It was a long winter, but spring has sprung. The spirit of Easter and of spring are alive in the UMUMR offices and on Shalom Farms. After a transitional period this winter, Shalom Farms and United Methodist Urban Ministries of Richmond are up and running with new staff members. Dominic Barrett has been named the new Program Director and Steve Miles has come on as Farm Manager. They are both extremely excited about the future of UMUMR and Shalom Farms.
The farm is in full spring swing. Groups of volunteers, both young and old, have already been out to help this spring. The need for volunteers will only increase in the coming days and weeks as we move into the heart of spring planting. To volunteer or for more information call 266-9350 or email dbarrett@umumr.org.
Many more updates, info, and pictures coming soon!
