************************

Our gardeners invite any and all to help out with harvesting on
harvest days (Tuesdays and Fridays). They begin at 6 am and go until
noon, when pick-up begins. If you are interested in helping out,
please call in advance (908 362 7486) and let them know about what
time you plan on arriving. You do not need to commit to coming
regularly or for that entire stretch of time...just come when you can.

And for those who want to give extra farm support but just can't make
it there in person, consider baked goods! They are always appreciated
by our hard-working, heavy-calorie-burning crew.

We could sure use your help as we are looking for volunteers to help with the ongoing work of our Community Supported Garden. We have a need for help that may be just a one-time several hours (weeding) to several hours a week or month (maintenance). Some of this work could be done at your own home (telephone calls) and most of it is centered around our Garden. Examples of the range of work/volunteers needed are as follows:

1. The Garden inherited a house and 71 acres. The house is old and is in need of maintenance. Painting, landscaping and general maintenance skills are most welcome.

2. The Distribution Building where we all pick up our share needs exterior painting and maintenance.

3. We will be installing a deer fence around a 16-acre field and many hands will make “light work” of this project.

4. We are in the process of building an outdoor bread oven. Masonry skills would be very welcome.

5. We try to have “Greeters” at the Distribution Building available every pick up, especially at the beginning of the season to help new members feel both welcome and to help with the pick up.

6. We have had a “Mentoring” project in the past where “seasoned” members agree to mentor new members. This involves telephoning new members to make sure that they are seamlessly integrated into the Community Garden experience.

7. We always have ongoing Garden projects ranging from weeding and harvesting to cutting firewood.

As the above examples hopefully illustrate, we have something for everyone to do. We have no work requirement for Garden members, but since the Garden belongs to all its members, we are most welcoming and appreciative of all of you who are willing to lend a helping hand to continue with your efforts to produce some of the best food grown on our planet.
