We're taking a field trip to volunteer at a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm in Waltham. www.communityfarms.org
First date: Thursday, July 17 @ 9am
I'd like this to become a regular event for a group of us, either weekly or every other week. The mission is for us to learn how food is grown locally and to participate directly in helping out - in addition to selling shares of the harvest to community members, the farm is dedicated to distributing shares to local hunger relief organizations.
Here's some info about volunteering from the site:
Individual and Family Volunteers
Drop in hours for farm work vary by the season. Individual volunteers are welcome to meet our staff at the Gathering Spot - a big white tent, located behind the red brick building at the Field Station, at the times below to help plant, transplant, weed, harvest or participate in other farm related tasks. Children of any age are welcome with adult supervision.
Summer Volunteer Drop-In Hours for Families and Individuals are currently...
Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday mornings. Please arrive promptly at 9 am. You may stay up to until noon (it's ok to leave early but we need you to arrive at the beginning for directions). Meet at the "gathering spot - the big white tent" and be ready to work!
