Barrington Day of Caring volunteers

Barrington Day of Caring

This past week, volunteers participating in the Barrington Day of Caring spent a beautiful day at the Farm School. Volunteers prepped 10 new rows with BFS compost and 8 with wood chips. They moved piles of our homemade compost and wood chips to different spots at the Farm School too. We're so grateful for all of their hard work and can't wait to get planting. We're already looking forward to next year.

Change in Volunteer Harvest Days

Due to the changing seasons and fewer crops to harvest, volunteer harvest days are Saturday mornings only. There are no longer harvest days on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Join us on Saturday mornings or Sunday and Wednesday for Compost Crew!
