Friends & Community Gather at Three Part Harmony (3PH) Farm’s Annual Fall Festival November 5th, 2024

On what was a lovely, sunny day, friends and community came together at Three Part Harmony Farm (3PH)’s annual fall festival this past weekend.
 
The farm is on the grounds of the Oblate Administrative Offices in Washington, DC.
 
Festival goers connected with each other, watched a cooking demo, planted garlic, and shared a meal.

On Friday, October 18, more than 65 people from the metropolitan Washington, DC Council of Governments visited Three Part Harmony Farm on the grounds of the Oblate administrative offices .
 
This was a great opportunity to tell the story of Missionary Oblates’ presence on this property since 1917 and the more than 10 year partnership we have enjoyed with Three-Part Harmony Farm. 
 
Gail Taylor, Owner and Operator of Three-Part Harmony Farm gave a wonderful presentation on that story and answered questions from the assembled group on how they might expand organic gardening, rooftop gardening and building community supported gardens in their jurisdiction.
 
The weather provided a beautiful 75° fall day for them to take a tour of the garden and to witness the variety of vegetables that are continuing to be harvested on a weekly basis. 
 
We will share more pictures in the coming weeks.

Calling All Nature Enthusiasts!Three Part Harmony Farm Hosts Annual Open House This Weekend April 26th, 2024

Saturday, April 27 from 10am to 1PM @ 3122 4th Street, NE, Washington, DC 20017 

It’s time for the annual spring open house at Three Part Harmony Farm!

This is the first of two (only two) public events we have each year. The other public event is the fall festival which will be held on Saturday, November 2. We will open the gates wide and welcome all of the CSA members plus Brookland and Edgewood neighbors (Washington, DC) as well as all farm friends/ family.

Please join us!

THEME
Our theme this year is “tea time at the farm“, inspired by the main activity: a three-part workshop led by Farmer and Chef Kiki Hamilton. The workshop is divided into three 30-minute segments, each highlighting a unique tea and herb-based tea time food. All of the herbs featured are grown at Three Part Harmony Farm. You will learn about growing, harvesting, processing and **storing** herbs and of course learn how to make 3 delightful beverages and 3 delectable snacks. Each session lasts about 30 minutes so you can join for just one segment.

DJ D’REAL will provide music for the vibes

The Laudato Si’ Action Platform (LSAP) is an action-oriented 7- year ecological conversion journey in the spirit of integral ecology intended to support and empower families, communities and institutions to achieve total sustainability.

In part II of OMI JPIC’s Laudato Si Action Platform, we revisit the commitments we have taken on and ponder what other action steps we might add to our list.

In this publication we are taking advantage of work that has been prepared by VIVAT International, “Eco LIFE and Action” and the various steps for action they have suggested. The Missionary Oblates are associate members of VIVAT and participate actively in a number of their common projects.

  • Visit VIVAT’s website: www.vivatinternational.org
  • Watch this video about the one billion bamboo project of VIVAT members in the Philippines (https://vimeo.com/719325606/b80359ecde).
  •  
  • This is an example of how the local communities address the impact of climate change (i.e., typhoons and floods in the Philippines) by planting one billion bamboo by 2030. This effort is for climate change mitigation and adaptation through a nature-based solution.

The goal of this initiative is to introduce a VIVAT spirituality of creation, provide concrete proposals for ecological conversion, and connect VIVAT members at the international level to promote the integrity of creation through awareness raising and advocacy.
