*Please note this project is on May 7, 2016.
Join fellow alumni as we get our hands dirty to support THEARC Organic Farm in its mission to provide healthy food to the residents of Southeast, DC.
To help them prepare for their upcoming season we will be working on a variety of tasks, with options available for men, women, and children ranging from seated to physically active projects, such as:
* Planting eggplant, tomatoes, and other crops
* Helping with general maintenance, which could include weeding and watering in their hoop house and raised beds and
* Assisting with the final stages of making compost
All equipment will be provided but please be sure to wear clothes you do not mind getting dirty. Boots are also recommended.
