21 Acres Saturday Volunteer Work Parties

21 Acres Saturday Volunteer Work Parties

Are you a climate activist looking for ways to get involved?

Join 21 Acres and other likeminded people for a winter full of rewarding farm projects, Saturdays (10:00am - 2:00pm)

Help us build soil health and get the farm in shape for the next growing season. Your support will increase farm productivity; create more native habitat for animals, birds and insects; decrease storm water run off; and pull carbon out of the atmosphere through green plant material.

Activities include cleaning, organizing, weeding, mulching, and wheelbarrowing. No prior farm experience required. Friends and family 12 years and older are welcome to join! 1st time volunteers please arrive at 9:30am for a brief orientation.

Save some time and fill out a volunteer application before arriving. To help you prepare for a day on the farm here are some notes to consider:

• Remember to check the weather in the morning or the night before your assigned shift.
• Dress in loose fitting comfortable layers that you don’t mind getting dirty or ruined.
• Long sleeves and long pants are recommended when removing blackberries and other thorny weeds.
• Raincoats and rubber boots may be necessary on rainy days.
• Please wear closed-toe shoes for your safety.
• A reusable water bottle filled with water to stay hydrated.
• Plenty of snacks or a sack lunch to stay fueled.
