City Farm SLO Holiday Work Party

Preparing for the rainy season

Enjoy a nice morning workout at City Farm SLO and get into the holiday spirit with cookies and cider after preparing the farm for winter rains from 9 am to noon on Saturday, Dec. 9.

Come for part or all of this month’s community work party. Bring a friend, bring the family. Get a taste of working on a farm. 

Work party chores include crop bed prepping, seeding and planting as well as clean-up, irrigation and mulching.

 Volunteers of all ages are welcome; no experience required. Tools will be provided. Bring work gloves and a water bottle. Wear protective shoes, dress for varying winter weather (cold, wet, to full sun) and enjoy a day on the farm.

Our first work party on November 9  <http://centralcoastgrown.org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=1175&qid=56270> involved preparing the ground and planting a cover crop of clover and winter rye.
