There is always lots to do at a farm and these coming weeks we need your help to get it all done. We have many field work projects and tasks to complete- plant maintenance, harvesting, weeding, and washing vegetables.
We have the next two Saturdays, May 16th & 23rd, planned as open group days. Our aim is to be able to knock out a bunch of this field work with help from our community! So bring your friends, family, neighbors or just your wonderful self and come on out!
If Saturdays don’t work for you but you’d still like to help, please click here to look at our weekly volunteer schedule.
