Description:

What we'll be doing

One Brick loves farming!  Depending on the needs, we may be preparing beds, shifting compost, planting, harvesting, tending vegetables or cleaning up the land.  Expect to get your hands and clothes dirty by the end of day.

What you should know

We work rain or shine so please only RSVP if you're willing to work in the rain - and come prepared for the weather!

What you should bring

All tools will be provided, but for your safety and comfort, please bring:

  • A water bottle
  • Sunscreen
  • A hat
  • Work gloves, if you have them
  • Rain gear, if the forecast calls for it

Long pants and shirt are recommended for farm work. Close-toed shoes are required because you may be working with sharp tools.
Other Info: All One Brick volunteers must be 21 years of age or older.
