It's that time of year again! The SRMT Agriculture Program is happy to announce they are now taking sign-ups for the annual free garden tilling for Akwesasne community members.
New for this year, in coordination with Cornell University and the Franklin County Soil & Water Conservation District, soil testing will be made available only to those that sign up for garden tilling. The type of soil test that will be provided is a DairyOne soil test. This will test soil pH, organic matter, and nutrient levels. The soil testing will take place after the garden tilling.
To sign-up reach out to Emma Phillips, SRMT Agriculture Program by phone at (518) 358-5937 ext. 5070 or ext. 5059 (Ida Thompson). Deadline to sign up is May 8, 2026.
