Happy Holidays from the HOG!

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2010!

The wait is over!  The Hamlet Organic Garden is now accepting applications from the public for the 2010 season.  Whether you are an old member who has let membership lapse, or a someone eager to try the farm for the first time, now is the time to secure your spot!  Just download an application, fill it out, and mail it in with a $100 deposit.

New wells are being drilled at HOG this week.  The Town of Brookhaven is paying to replace our existing shallow wells with deep wells that will access the clean, unpolluted water of the Magothy Aquifer.  This is the culmination of nearly two years of hard work to ensure that the HOG will continue to have access to clean water as the leachate plume from the Brookhaven Landfill slowly creeps southward towards us.  In 2008 we first discovered trace amounts of leachate constituents in our North Well, although our South Well has remained untainted.  Both wells are being replaced and we are very excited that next spring everything will be in place to insure pure, clean water for what we think of as our pure, clean farm, where we all can continue to have pure, clean fun!
