Each Spring and Fall we remove plant debris, till the fields, lay down or pick up weed control fabric and apply compost and other soil amendments. There are always rocks to be removed and some raking, shoveling, lifting, and moving of materials. A great way to start or end the growing season!
We have staggered initial plantings in the Spring and second planting in late Summer for a variety of crops. This is always a fun and satisfying activity as we plant both seeds and seedlings. We have teams of 4-8 people in our larger parcels to hold this activity to a 2-hour time period.
During the growing season, we need volunteers to weed parcels, loosen soil, and apply amendments and fertilizer to achieve optimum yields. Throughout the year we need volunteers for maintaining and upgrading the growing areas.
Picking corn or peppers allows you to stand and harvest while crops like broccoli, lettuce and melons will need lots of bending and hands-and-knees work to get the job done. We always look for a number of volunteers to spread the load on harvest days! With over 15 different vegetables and fruits to harvest, there will be an activity for every age and ability.
Drivers needed to pick up harvested food from growers and transport to various drop-off locations. Must be at least 25 years of age and have your own vehicle and insurance. Capable of lifting boxes up to 50 lbs. 2 hours per week from June-October is typical.
