Farm Helpers Get Meals, Veggies, Flowers, Exercise, Sea Breeze, Friend

Imperial Beach CA

Description

Want to make new friends, while volunteering and helping our community? Well, this early retired green thumbs gal is offering fresh organic veggies and delicious meals (if you are around when being served), in exchange for assistance at her not-for-profit farm that is donating food to those in need and front line workers.  The farm is only a little over a year old and operating on a shoestring budget of loans and donations. Still installing infrastructure, yet eating like royalty. No better place to be during this pandemic, tho the policy has changed and can no longer share tools and creature comforts. You will have to bring whatever you need to be comfortable during your time at the farm to stay safe. Kind of like going to the beach or camping. For your breaks you will probably want to bring a chair, folding table and umbrella if hot. If you want to be served meals (brunch and dinner) bring a plate and utensils and water to stay hydrated. Tools like a shovel, hoe, rake and gloves are also necessary for various projects. Another wheelbarrow will be handy to get compost on beds, if you happen to own one. Normally it's all provided but now its it's not safe doing so and best for your safety, too, to use your own stuff. Must be a non smoker, healthy with no symptoms of any kind and wear a mask when near another. 6'+ social distancing is required and if you are working alone then mask is not needed, but please keep it handy.  Coastal breeze, lots of bird activity, great exercise, organic veggies, flowers, herbs and camaraderie for those who seek a pleasant getaway while helping those in our community. If interested and you have a minimum of 2 hours/visit to help and you live in or near South Bay, please provide ALL 7 answers to the following, to be considered: 1. Your first name; 2. Your age; 3. Your location; 4. Date you are available; 5. Your arrival and departure time that day; 6. Tools you can bring; 7. Your gardening experience and/or other skills you'd like to offer. Thanks and be healthy!
