WWOLF - April 9 at Fields Farm
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 Fields Farm at 9am. After a round of introductions, we will split into groups and get to work. We will finish our day with lunch.
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. Our main task will be to prepare the farm for the upcoming growing season. There will be a wide variety of jobs for all ages and abilities.
What to Bring: Snacks and water, work gloves, closed-toe shoes, layers for the weather, and sunscreen. Soup and bread will be provided for lunch along with some produce from the farm, or bring your own! We will have a hand washing station and sanitizer for participant use.
