Our small farmers rarely ask for help and are often challenged by deferred maintenance and lack of help and materials for small expansion plans. The Small Farm Initiative offers occasional volunteer days and small material donations when possible to help keep our local farms flourishing.

Our first event will be on Thursday and Friday, (July 30 & 31 weather permitting) at Lava Rocks Goat Dairy in Hawaiian Acres.

At this small family farm we will prep and paint the dairy roof and barn and clear a strip around the pasture to plant goat fodder plants. There will be other small tasks to be done also.

We especilally need a couple of volunteers who can operate a power sprayer and paint sprayer (under the guidance of a professional painter). We still in need of paint donations and or money to buy paint.

For information time and directions – call Geoff Rauch 936-7040
