June 26th, 2011 - Volunteer Day at the Farm
Spend a day volunteering at Free Bird Farm. As the June sun warms the soil, seedlings can easily get choked out by an early-season explosion of weeds. But many hands make light work!  Help the farm by weeding, snapping garlic scapes and other unskilled farm labor.  Members are welcome to come up the afternoon/evening before and camp out. Kids are welcome!  See our Facebook Invite.
