If you are looking for a great volunteer opportunity and a fabulous workout, look no further. Jim managed to plant all 4 acres this year (the farm has an extremely high water table so drought works in its favor) and is experimenting with melons. The problem? They need more volunteers, especially early in the season, to beat back the weeds. They were routinely waist-high this year and choked out quite a few tender plants.
Varney farm has the key role of filling in produce needs (other items, like tomatoes and carrots, have a high rate of collection from area farm markets). With a little more help early next year (I didn't start volunteering until July, and will start in early June), they can produce even more.
