We recommend you bring and wear a personal mask. If you have not completed the online waiver, please do so here. Anyone under 18 needs to have a parent or guardian sign it on their behalf. WAIVER LINK: https://endhunger.org/volunteer-waiver/ The address above is for the farmers market but we will be turning into the field before you get to the end of Jones Ave which is the road BEFORE the farmers market. Please look for the red gleaning flags on Jones Ave. Please turn in there. DO NOT BRING: Do NOT bring any pets! No pets are allowed on property, farm can lose their license if pets of any kind are seen on the property. Note: There are limited restrooms available at this location.
