There was no fanfare, little celebration, just a moment to take a picture as the first shovel marked the corner of the organic garden on the TSA owned Cleland Land. A plot of flat field running along Route 14 in Sharon, VT. A shed stands obsolete, largely rotten and unusable. The field is covered in the remnants of winter rye. A small wood lot blocks the morning sun. By mid afternoon the sun is in full force as this early spring day turns mild. A group of students, Otto Pierce, Mookie Kristensen, Bobby Farrell, Galen Riddle, Olivia Conner, Anna Fischer-Byrne, Mia Johnson and Sam Rossier, quickly get to work. The first job, to clear, clean and organize. The space around the shed will be the central location for the garden and is covered in the remnants of the guy who lived there as a winter caretaker. Four corners, two woodpiles and no sumac, the beginning.
