April 1, 2025 Workshifts to Commence Soon... by Farmer Derek
Preparing a home for onions and scallions on Sunday before Monday's entertaining rain event, to be planted next week hopefully.
We'll announce the official start of workshifts via email/bulletin/newsletter, probably later this month.
For new members, we typically post workshifts one week at a time, the weekend prior. We try to schedule 2-4 per week. We need the most help May-August so try to get some or all of your hours in during that time frame. If work hours are not completed by the end of the season please remit payment to cover the full cost of the share (working on the farm reduces your share cost).
An example post:
This week's workshift schedule:
Wednesday 5/8 10am-12pm
Sunday 5/12 9-11am
Bring gloves, water, a hat, sturdy shoes, and a pad for kneeling (if necessary for you).
We meet under the large red maple at the end of the barn by the pick up room.
