Doin' the cardboard shuffle
Written by Chris   


What's a work party without a few trenches being dug (above) and a few thousand pounds of cardboard to be layed down like fall leaves in the forest? Many came, many had fun but most importantly people showed up to rock out the new Hayes Valley Farm! 

The majority of the efforts involved mulch wrestling, the cardboard shuffle, and the trench trance. The volunteers came in record numbers to see the site, get involved and get dirty. It was great to see so many smiles and so many people involved in work they enjoyed. I heard a few comments about deskwork that I won't repeat, but let's just say we might have a few more farmers on our hands at the end of the year. That's good news as Fast Company Magazine rates farmer as the #1 top green job for the next decade.

 
As the momentum builds so does the energy and the enjoyment from being out on the site. One of our volunteers Daniel decided to draw the piece of art to the left. We're so lucky to have amazing community members working hard to beautify and energize this project.

Chickens and eggs anyone?

This is amazing. I hope I can become a part of the volunteer force when I am in San Francisco and when I move in September. I will be in San Francisco the week of March 8th if you have anything going let me know
