Willing Workers On Local Farms (WWOLF) is a community program of Central Oregon Locavore Non-Profit with the goal of lending a hand to small farmers while educating the community about the true nature of local food.
How It Works: You will meet the group at Windflower Farm in Alfalfa at 9am. After a round of introductions at the farm, we will split into groups and get to work. Our main task for the day is to prep beds and sow seed. We will wrap up at lunchtime and enjoy lunch together, including goat burgers provided by Windflower Farm.
What to Expect: Good times, new friends, and a boots-on-the-ground education about local farming practices. We love dogs, but please leave them at home for this event.
What to Bring: Snacks and water, work gloves, closed-toe shoes, layers for the weather, and sunscreen. If you can easily bring a digging fork or hand trowel, please do. Soup and bread will be provided for lunch along with some product from the farm, or bring your own! We will have a hand washing station and sanitizer for participant use.
About Windflower Farm: Windflower Farm is dedicated to growing gourmet-quality vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers as well as AWA (Animal Welfare Approved) laying hens and dairy goats. We use only sustainable practices; no chemical herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers. The farm comprises 20 acres nestled amidst ranches and the Badlands, in pastoral Alfalfa, just 15 minutes east of Bend.
