Committees
From Miller Farm
The various standard projects at Miller Farm are designated under certain committees. Every year, a resident or small group of residents each take on one of the committees. The pages linked to below are intended both to provide information to non-residents about the goings-on at the farm, and, in addition, they serve as growing documentation of what previous residents have done -- how to care for certain animals or plants, what works, what doesn't work, what should be done if x happens, and so on.
