- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Eleven entrepreneurial farms in Central Virginia will open their gates for visitors on Labor Day, Sept. 7, 2015. They will offer educational and entertaining programs and activities to demonstrate local food production, and other farm activities such as fiber production, bee-keeping, and herb production. To accomodate the visitors, Market Central is seeking volunteers to serve a 2 hour shift an any one of the 11 farms. We will provide a short orientation, materials, instructions, and shelter. You will be asked to help out with providing information to visitors, tracking data, and helping out the host farm. It is quite low-key and enjoyable. For your service, we will provide a Meet Yer Eats t-shirt, a market bag, and a free car pass ($15 value) to visit the rest of the farms with any companions.
Please consider this valuable service on behalf of our local farms, as they provide this opportunity to the community.
You may sign up for a volunteer shift at www.meetyereats.wordpress.com.
thank you.
