- Hi Debra - what postiotin do you want to volunteer for at the milling? We need TWO people for each role for each shift. You will receive all training that day, The shifts overlap to accommodate the training. We expect a busy day and ask you to bring your own water and snacks, where closed toed shoes and bring sun protection. There is a farmers market running during the morning.
Roles:
Check-in table. Collect money and help orient people to the process.
Bean inspection. Inevitably someone shows up with beans that are unsorted and we will help them to get the twigs and rocks out.
Run the Mill. This will require specialized training! Can be on the spot training and the volunteers who will be doing this should have closed toed shoes, a long sleeve shirt for protection, ear protection, shading hat, long pants, and safety glasses. You will need to provide your own protection.
Shifts:
7:30 – 10:30 Only one milling position left
10:00 – 1:00
12:30 – 3:30
3:00 – 5:00
Please let me know which role and which shift you prefer.

Here is a link to a search tool for Mastergardeners. It will not tell you if the fruit is edible, but it does say what type of wildlife it will attract. These plants also have the benefit of being desert adapted, so you are not spending a ton of mon…

Ready made raised beds, looks pretty cool but pricey. Don't know if there is a local source for them and how much just the wattles cost. They're recycling rice straw from Ca. for them now instead of burning the straw after harvest which is a good th…
