>The season that inspired The Bard promises to shake our wintry Palouse 
>souls out of hibernation at this year's Koppel Farm Spring Fair. Come 
>celebrate the arrival of the new season at Koppel Farm, corner of Derby 
>Street and Pro-Mall Boulevard in Pullman on Saturday, May 15th, from 10 
>A.M. to 2 P.M.  The event this year will feature a plant sale, 
including 
>locally grown starts of flowers, vegetables, and herbs - we'll furnish 
>the bags, you bring enough arms to carry your treasures home! Fairgoers 
>will enjoy baked goods and other foods furnished by Pullman's fine 
>restaurant, The Globe. And, especially for children, we're planning a 
>petting zoo replete with cuddly animals - as cute as the children 
>themselves! All events will be accompanied, not by Orpheus's lute, but 
- 
>even better - by Moscow's Galactic Tofu Farmers.
>
>As the Bill Chipman Palouse Trail will continue construction alongside 
>Koppel Farm this year, the Spring Fair will feature a display of 
>historical and informative markers to be built along the trail.
>
>See you there!
>
>And don't forget Koppel Farm's mid-week Farmers' Markets, commencing in 
>June and ending with the first heavy frost after September 1. The 
market 
>features fresh vegetables, herbs, cut flowers, and homemade bread for 
>sale. Is there a better way to spend a Palouse summer evening than 
>munching on a savory salad of fresh picked lettuces, peppers, 
cucumbers, 
>and fresh baked basil bread?
>
>Summer, here we come!

>Since 1992 the Greystone Foundation has sponsored an organic community 
>garden at Koppel Farm in Pullman. With over 80 plots in production, the 
>Koppel Farm provides space for individuals and organizations to garden 
>each growing season. We open the season with our Spring Fair and Plant 
>Sale every May and close it with a September Fall Harvest Festival. For
