Volunteering:
As wild as it seems, we are approaching the last eight weeks of the harvest season!! That means there are ~15 more chances to join harvests!

To assist us in organizing our lovely crew, we strongly encourage everyone to fill out the August form, September Attendance Form, and and October Attendance Form. This helps us ensure we have delivery drivers, greeters, washers, packhouse people, and vegetable-loving harvesters.

We need these responses so much that we are going to enter everyone who fills out their form into a drawing for a prize! If you fill out the August form ASAP and the September form by August 28, your name will be put in a raffle. Winners will receive a handmade card and jar of honey. Raffles will happen on the last Tuesday & Friday of every month, with the first raffle happening on August 29th.
WORK DAY SATURDAY AUG 12
8am-noon.
Our interns are going back to school and suddenly our daily skilled crew goes from 6 to 1!! Help us get caught up on farm work going into fall. RSVP helpful.
