Volunteers for Local Food Training
May 31 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy
Farm to Table – Get Involved!
Are you interested in Local Food, or want to help build resilient systems for healthy local food supplies? The Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy Community Farm is looking for volunteers to aid with egg production and markets – from getting out on the farm to selling eggs and talking to folks at local tailgate markets. Volunteers who want to try their hand at farming will help with managing our flock of around 150 chickens at the SAHC Community Farm in Alexander, NC.
Volunteers will be split into three primary roles: Chicken Care Volunteers, Egg Washing Volunteers, and Farmers Market Volunteers. Volunteers for any of these three roles will make a significant difference on the farm and massively help our current farm staff! This is a great experience for those interested in farming chicken eggs or moving their bodies outdoors!
Chicken Care Volunteers will be responsible for ensuring the chickens stay healthy and happy by providing fresh food and water and harvesting freshly laid eggs.
Farmers Market volunteers will take the cleaned, freshly harvested eggs and sell them at local farmer’s markets. SAHC will use money from the proceeds to aid with Community Farm initiatives.
Volunteer Shifts
Currently, we expect shifts for Chicken Care Volunteers and Egg Washing Volunteers to be either 10 am to 1 pm or 1 pm to 3 pm on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays.
Farmers Market Volunteers will be assisting at Farmers Markets either in the River Arts District on Wednesday afternoons or in Biltmore Village on Sunday afternoons.
Volunteers will receive 1-2 dozen fresh eggs for personal use after each volunteer shift.
