Thank you, May Volunteers!
May's flowers and trees are in bloom and the fields full of greenery, thanks to all of the amazing efforts of our volunteers.
We are getting into the rhythm of the season, and our preparations are paying off. Weeding and washing bracket our days, as the fields steadily produce more vegetables to harvest.
On June 18th from 1-3pm, we will be hosting a Volunteer Potluck on the idyllic lawns of the historic house to thank you, our amazing volunteers: join us as we fire up the grill with some farm fresh veg, and swap recipes + stories. Bring your favorite dishes or drinks to share! (no weeding or washing, just good times, promise!).
Very soon, there will be opportunities for volunteer gleaning- harvesting food directly for donation- on Monday mornings. Learn how to harvest different types of vegetables, and know that every piece will be going to a local food pantry within 24 hours.
This month during rainy days, and in the spirit of celebrating the start of summer's color, join us in painting new, eye-catching informative signs for the field and farm. Get creative with calligraphy, or splash some colors for a fun backdrop!
As always, keep an eye on the website's volunteer page: new recurring volunteer opportunities are about to be unlocked.
Do you have an idea of a volunteer activity you would like to see, or a request to join us at different hours? Please feel free to reach out- we are happy to create new events with your feedback!
I hope to see you back on the farm soon.
