During this gorgeous week, we are busy with the usual farm business of transplanting and harvesting veggies. One of our old farm managers, Jason Hamelwright, stopped by with a gaggle of his students from Calhoun High School to volunteer! It was wonderful to see him and the students were very hard-working and eager to learn. It's forecasted to be a rainy Saturday, but we will be open at all markets rain or shine. Come support your local farmer!

We are now offering volunteer opportunities on Saturdays! Devon, our market coordinator, needs someone who is willing to help organize Saturday market returns and assist in getting everything set up for the Sunday markets. We are looking for someone to help out from 2:30 to 6:30 and you would, of course, be given a box of veggies to take home and enjoy. Email us at farm@jbgorganic.com if you are interested. Lots of heavy lifting and time spent in walk-in coolers involved!

We're excited to welcome a new vehicle to our delivery fleet - a 24-foot refrigerated truck! But, we need help to get this thing in proper delivery shape. Help us paint this baby!! Our first painting volunteer day will be on Tuesday, April 16th from 4-7pm at our 9515 Hergotz Lane location. Volunteers should have some experience painting or be artistically inclined. If you'd like to join us on April 16th, please email Ada at ada@jbgorganic.com with "Painting Volunteer" in the subject line. Please make sure to mention what experience you have wielding a paintbrush. Per usual, all volunteers are thanked with a CSA box of veggies!
