Some outdoor exercise while providing nutritious food to your community? Here’s your chance to help on the farm and let your littles enjoy a bit of farm time too. As a work trade for produce, you’ll work alongside adult farmers and community members tending to veggies, animals, or the land. Under Lindsay’s supervision and encouragement, the littles will explore the farm, create crafts, have snacks and story time, and learn to be in community with each other. Childcare offered on a donation basis. **Saturday schedule to be announced.
