Mulch Madness is happening on the Farm! We love mulch because it suppresses weeds and helps improve soil health. Volunteers will be asked to use pitchforks, rakes, and wheelbarrows to move, lay and spread leaf mulch. This task requires moderate physical exertion. Varying weather conditions and temperatures can be anticipated.

Important Information
Volunteers should bring water and wear close-toed shoes and clothes they don't mind getting dirty. Preferably, volunteers should wear long sleeves and pants to prevent irritation from weeds. If you have allergies, bring any necessary medication - there are bees on site. The farm has a minimum age of 13 and a ratio of 1 adult to 5 kids.
If you have any questions, including how to sign up as a team, contact Volunteers@foodshuttle.org or call 919.390.1968.
