FLOOD RECOVERY UPDATE
OUR RECOVERY FROM Hurricane HELENE GOES ON
We are in the process of building Springhouse Farm back better than before! Hurricane Helene may have washed away our Farm Stand, hundreds of perennial plants, and a lot of our precious topsoil, but we are bouncing back with a renewed appreciation of our farm life and the community that supports us.
Some exciting farm projects we completed in 2025: restored and rebuilt our streambanks, built a brand new Farm Stand with the help of ASU's Building Sciences class, and added lots of organic material to rebuild our soil. Stay tuned for more news and photos of our continued recovery.
