- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
Meet at the Six River Farmstand in Bowdoinham. The farm owner, Nate, will greet your group. You will be given instructions about what to harvest and where it is. You will harvest for about an hour and a half, and then weigh everything by type (the Team Leaders have scales and notebooks for writing down weights). Then, the produce is assembled into mixed boxes and the Team Leader will also write down how many boxes go to each recipient. Finally, the group splits up and delivers to recipients in their personal vehicles!
Requirements:
- Ability to drive and use own vehicle
- Ability to walk, kneel on the ground, bend over, and do other general garden work
- Ability to pick up boxes of produce (generally ranging from 5-30lb) from the ground and place in car (and vice versa)
