Willing Workers On Local Farms (WWOLF): WWOLF is a project of Central Oregon Locavore non-profit. Our mission is to lend a helping hand to small farmers while educating the community about the true nature of local food.

The farm: The Fields have been raising fresh produce for Central Oregon families since 1989. They practice sustainable, pesticide-free, soil-building farming methods on 10 acres in Bend. For more information: fieldsfarm.org

How it works: Meet at the farm at 10am. After a round of introductions we’ll split into groups and get to work. We’ll break for lunch around 12:30pm, then return to work until 3pmish. Pace yourself and have fun! Specific tasks that we're looking  to complete at Fields Farm include: refurbishing two large greenhouses, transplanting veggies starts, and a building project if time permits.

What to expect: Good times, new friends, and a boots-on-the-ground education about local farming practices. Children are more than welcome with adult supervision.  We love dogs, but please leave them at home for this event.

What to bring: Lunch, work gloves, closed-toe shoes, warm layers for the weather, hat, snacks, water, and sunscreen.

Sincerely,

The gang at Central Oregon Locavore
