Welcome Back Breakfast for Returning Volunteers – Saturday, March 24th at 10:30 AM
Please join us and your fellow volunteers for a Welcome Back gathering to catch up and discuss plans for the upcoming farm season. We’ll be serving a light breakfast and refreshments. We’ve made some enhancements to our volunteer program to improve your volunteer experience. Let’s talk about it at the event.
Of course, there’s still many of the same activities including field work, educational activities, and fundraising events, so much of which will be much more successful if you join us! We’re also using biodynamic farming principles this year, so there’s lot of new farming techniques to learn and apply.
As you know, the farm depends on volunteers…please try to join us as we start the new farm year!
Please sign up here to join us.
There’s also a volunteer work activity directly following the breakfast. We’ll be seeding up trays of flowers in the greeenhouse. Please sign up below to participate in that and future volunteer activities. To see all the activities, please click the down arrow to the right of the activity on the sign-up page. New activities will be added each month.
