We’re hosting our annual evening work day early in the season this year. Join the crew on Thursday May 22 from 5:30-7 pm for an evening of planting summer crops, tweaking irrigation, painting new signs, and of course, weeding. Always, always weeding. This mid-week work day is a great chance for our neighbors who can’t make the usual weekend events to stop by and share in the farm fun. Drinks (yes, drinks 😉 and snacks provided.
Can’t make it this time? Don’t worry! We’ll have plenty more work days this season. Keep an eye here or on our social pages for more info and reach out to athenscommunityfarm[at]gmail.com with any questions!
