WWOLF - October 15 at Rainshadow Organics
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 Rainshadow Organics at 9am. After a round of introductions at the farm, we will split into groups and get to work. We will take a lunch break at midday to wrap up our worktime.
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 winter. 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.
About Rainshadow Organics: Rainshadow Organics is a full-diet farm with dozens of varieties of certified organic vegetables, herbs, berries, flowers, pork, chicken, eggs, turkey, beef, and grains on 200 acres. We are located 15 miles northeast of Sisters and 10 miles west of Terrebonne in Central Oregon. The farm is family owned and operated and we have been here since the early 1970’s. Sarahlee Lawrence grew up on the land and started Rainshadow in 2010.
All of the crops we grow are distributed within 50 miles of the farm through CSA programs, local restaurants and grocery stores, farmer’s markets, and our own Farm Store which opened in 2017. We are proud to provide our community with locally grown food that is good for the people and our land.
