Description: Join Boston AMC to volunteer with Gaining Ground , a nonprofit organic farm in Concord, MA. Gaining Ground uses sustainable farming practices to grow vegetables and fruit that is all donated to area meal programs and food pantries.
We will spend about 2 hours in the fields at Gaining Ground helping out with farm activities that may include planting, mulching, cultivating, harvesting, or washing. Afterward there will be an opportunity to get lunch as a group.
From Gaining Ground Clothing and Gear Farm work is in the dirt. Wear clothes and shoes or boots that you don't mind getting dirty. Bring your own gloves if you prefer (we do have some to lend), water bottle, and sun protection Outdoor Exposure Farm work is outside and there is always something to do, rain or shine. Dress appropriately for predicted weather conditions. If rain is forecasted, bring rain gear and boots for walking in the mud. (Note: we do not work in the fields if there is lightning and thunder.)
