Happy ! Volunteers are a crucial part of what we do on the farm. They harvest, plant, and w**d on sweltering summer days and chilly, windy mornings; help us pack and distribute our produce; and most importantly of all, work alongside our Growers as members of our inclusive community. Today and every day, we're thankful for the individuals who dedicate their days to spending time with us in the dirt!
