Hi Junior League of Portland Volunteer Team! We are very excited to have you on the farm!
What will we be doing?
There's lots to do at the farm! Some frequent tasks we work on are...
- Creating our food forest
- Removing "invasive" weeds
- Creating pathways and planting areas
- Building wood-berms for planting
- Cardboarding and woodchipping
- Planting
- Seeding
- Harvesting
We have gloves, shovels, rakes, wheelbarrows, and loppers available for volunteers to use!
We have tasks for all skill and physical ability levels and are happy to work with any challenges or limitations you may have!
What should you bring?
• Water!
• Weather / outdoor appropriate, warm, comfortable clothing and shoes you don't mind getting dirty. In the rainy season, the farm can be muddy, and sometimes it might also rain, so come prepared! Layers are great!
• We recommend closed-toed shoes and long sleeve shirts.
• Gardening gloves (though we have plenty at the farm if you don't have any!)
• Knee pads for kneeling if needed (we have a few of these at the farm as well!)
• A snack if you'd like!
Please park on the farm side of the street anywhere up or down the street - lots of parking is usually available. Do NOT park on the grass across the street from the farm, or in the driveway. Thank you!
You'll see a Kindness Farm sign by the mailbox, and our check-in area a little up the driveway where everyone can check-in. Your shift leader will meet you there!
