Volunteers will be assisting with cleaning the produce packing barn, farm stand and general workspaces. Tasks include but are not limited to sweeping, taking out trash, washing harvest materials, sanitizing surfaces, and dusting. Volunteers can expect to be in a sheltered environment that is not climate controlled, so it is important to dress appropriately for the weather. Volunteers are required to wear closed-toed shoes and should wear clothes that they don't mind getting wet and dirty.
