Get Dirty: Volunteer Morning at Esoterra Culinary Garden
Your hands are clean. Too clean. When's the last time you had dirt under your fingernails that wasn't from a houseplant you're barely keeping alive?
We're spending a morning at Esoterra Culinary Garden, one of Boulder's best kept secrets. They grow over 300 species of specialty produce on a few acres of city-owned land, supplying about 50 of the best restaurants in Boulder and Denver. No-till, regenerative, hands-in-the-soil farming. The real thing.
We'll be helping with whatever the farm needs. Weeding, planting, harvesting. There's a range of tasks so you can find something that fits, whether you want to go hard or keep it easy.
No experience needed.
A few things worth mentioning:
- This counts as a workout. Skip the gym.
- Not sure about taking off work? Check if your company offers volunteer days. A lot of them do.
- Don't want to come alone? Bring some buddies. The more hands the better. Try to get them to RSVP so we get a head count
- Carpooling will be important
What to bring:
- Durable pants you don't mind getting dirty
- Sun shirt, hat, and sunscreen
- Closed-toe shoes and long socks
- Layers — weather shifts fast out there
- Bug spray
- Water bottle
- Snacks
