Year 2

 The second GAR grant for The Elms Farm 2.0 was received in the Spring of 2019. This grant was for $10,630. The grant provided the addition of 6 raised beds, goats, and materials needed for them. Construction was to begin in the Spring of 2020, but was delayed due to Covid-19. The barn was delivered in September of 2020. In the Fall of 2020, an additional area was added to the chicken run. The 6 new raised beds were built in the Spring of 2021. This took the total amount of raised beds up to 10. In the Fall of 2020, pallets were stained in preparation for new fencing. In the Spring of 2021, the Home Depot grant was given to our farm. This grant supplied posts, cement, and workers to put the fence up. The coop was painted in the Spring of 2020. An article was in the Akron Beacon Journal about it. In the Spring of 2021, students cooked the first eggs and in the Fall of 2021, students made tomato sauce and salsa with produce from the gardens. In the Summer of 2021, a male goat named Mel was given to the farm. At the time, Mel was only a few months old. In the Fall of 2021, an older female goat was given to the farm as a friend for Mel. Her name is Lacy. Lacy was given to us by a breeder because she could no longer be bred.
