What to Expect:
Volunteers take part in farm work that varies from day to day. Our most common tasks include: planting, harvesting, cultivating,
composting and farm maintenance. Prior gardening and farming experience is not required! We will teach you everything you need to know.
Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, appropriate footwear and a hat. And do not forget sunscreen! Check the weather forecast
and dress appropriately. Taylor St Farm is an operating farm so there may be tools present, uneven surfaces and insects.
(And yes, our restroom is a port-a-potty.)
