Description:
Come work with us out here in Hadley, Massachusetts in some of the best soil in the country! We can accept volunteers April-Dec, Monday-Friday from 8-5. We work Saturday too, so you can join us from 8-noon. Our work depends on the season; in the Spring we're transplanting, cleaning up and preparing for the summer. During the summer we're harvesting, weeding, and transplanting. In the Fall we're still harvesting, and weeding!, but also cleaning up, and getting to all those projects that piled up during the year! This is a great farm with lots of good people. We are fast-paced and try to send volunteers home with some fresh veggies! If you've got special skills like carpentry let us know and we'll see if we have any other work you can jump on! We accept groups or individuals. Individuals can just come on over, no need to call or set up an appointment. Groups give us a call and let us know how many people and when you want to come. See you soon!
