A neat opportunity
We received this email and thought some of you might be intrigued by this opportunity!
Hey Octopus!
I'm a Glebe resident and am working with a local organic farm to transition it into a wwoofing retreat.. The farmer, Gerrie Baker is turning 60 this year, hence tending to the 8000 square foot greenhouse and gardens is far too much for her to handle on her own. This week, she especially needs help and we need a Farm Mob. We were wondering if it would be possible if you could send a mass message to your mailing list asking if any city dwellers would like to experience life on a local organic farm for any amount of days in the coming few weeks. Food and beds will be provided. Day trips are welcome and carpools/ pick ups can be arranged. The farm is located at 874 Grady Road in Westport, ON (approx between Ottawa and Kingston)
They can contact us at wwoof.westport@gmail.com or at 613 237 0897
It would be such a great help.
Thank you
Janina Hojczyk
