Event details: Saturday, April 26, 2025 | 9 am-12 pm | Lilac Hedge Farm (216 Wachusett Street, Rutland, MA 01543)
Learn more: Lilac Hedge Farm is a local farm working on 500+ acres, offering pasture raised meat through home delivery, shipping, farmers markets and a year-round farm stand. Lilac Hedge is gifting a portion of their land to a newly formed organization (and soon to be nonprofit) Two Forks Project. Two Forks Two will use the land to teach people skills to grow their own food for personal use or donation.
To prepare the land, volunteers are needed for spring cleanup work. Tasks will include preparing garden bed rows for spring planting, ground working, rock removal, etc. There may be some brush cleanup in the area used to educate visitors about native flowers and growing food.
Well supervised children are welcome to participate. There is ample parking available. Restroom facilities on site. All basic tools will be provided. Please bring garden gloves if you'd like them, wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing. Lilac Hedge Farm will supply light snacks during the work; a kitchen staff training session is taking place that afternoon, so more food will be available before departure too.
Rain date: Sunday, April 27
