WWOLF On-Farm Volunteer Work Party Program

Central Oregon Locavore has officially released the summer schedule for its free, on-farm volunteer work party program, Willing Workers on Local Farms (WWOLF). Inspired by the global WWOOF movement (Willing Workers on Organic Farms) in which volunteers are connected with organic farms around the world to provide labor in exchange for housing and agricultural training, Locavore’s WWOLF program lends a hand to local farmers and ranchers while educating participants about the true nature of local food. WWOLF gathers ‘packs’ of volunteers to spend a day working on various projects in exchange for a farm-fresh meal and a day spent in the gardens, giving farmers a boost to accomplish time-sensitive, seasonal tasks. If you’re a lone wolf looking for a pack to join, come out with us to your local farms and see what it takes to make local happen! Registration for WWOLF programs is free, but required. Our current live dates are: 

Sunday, May 11th with Rooper Ranch 10am-3pm

Thursday, May 22nd with Fields Farm 9am-1pm

Saturday, May 24th with Well Rooted Produce 9am-1pm

Friday, June 13th with Mahonia Gardens 9am-2pm
