2008 Many Hands Sustainability Center Food Production Workshops
In late 2007 we incorporated the Many Hands Sustainability Center. The work of the center will be in part to intensify our educational workshops and public offerings. We also have established a long term collaboration with Dismas House of Worcester which works with ex-offenders to help them get back on their feet and rebuild their lives out of jail. Presently 12 men from the Almost Home Program come to volunteer on the farm each Friday.
For all of our workshops, please bring a pot luck dish to share at lunch time. You can find directions to the farm here. When you've decided which workshops you'd like to attend, please register here.
