Pickers & Sorters Needed in the Fields!


Paying it Forward
with Growing for Good!
July 27th
8:00 am – 12:30 pm 
 
Call for Volunteers: Harvesters and Sorters Needed! On March 30th our generous community stepped forward, got dirty, and planted acres of different varieties of potatoes. Historic Sotterley has earmarked this crop for donation to our local food pantries. After testing our fields (in between rain storms!) the time has come to harvest and sort! With our volunteers, together we will “Pay it Forward”, directly supporting families in need in our community.

From the potato fields to our neighbors in the community

Check in will be at our Farmer’s Market.
Note: We recommend hats, gloves, and shoes and clothes you are not afraid to get dirty!
