City Farm SLO Holiday Work Party
Preparing for the rainy season
Enjoy a nice morning workout at City Farm SLO and get into the holiday spirit with cookies and cider after preparing the farm for winter rains from 9 am to noon on Saturday, Dec. 9.
Come for part or all of this month’s community work party. Bring a friend, bring the family. Get a taste of working on a farm.
Work party chores include crop bed prepping, seeding and planting as well as clean-up, irrigation and mulching.
Volunteers of all ages are welcome; no experience required. Tools will be provided. Bring work gloves and a water bottle. Wear protective shoes, dress for varying winter weather (cold, wet, to full sun) and enjoy a day on the farm.
Our first work party on November 9 involved preparing the ground and planting a cover crop of clover and winter rye.
We had great fun and lots got done. Here's the result two weeks later:
City Farm SLO is located within the Calle Joaquin Agricultural Reserve, at 1221 Calle Joaquin in San Luis Obispo, which runs parallel to Hwy 101, between the Madonna Rd and Los Osos Valley Rd exits.
