Dear Friends of the Farm Project,
Greetings! It is almost spring again and time to prepare for the 15th year
of S.H.A.R.E.'s Farm Project for this upcoming growing season. Last year
was such a good learning experience for us all. Please check the new schedule
carefully because you will find changes. Our hope is that the additional
opportunities will allow more people to experience the fun of harvest season
(in groups of 6 to 8) and provide more fresh produce for our ever growing
distribution recipient community and the Farm Stand.
We look forward to the fun of working with you again in gleaning produce!
All trips leave promptly at the time that will be confirmed with you in
advance from the Project S.H.A.R.E. parking lot. Remember that the schedule
is tentative and subject to change, so please remain flexible. Schedule
