Attire: Since this is an active farm, we recommend dressing comfortably for the weather and wearing closed-toe shoes since the ground cover varies (grass, dirt, mulch, and gravel). We will provide a safety vest for you to wear so that volunteers are identifiable. Reach out via email at info@eatyouryardjax.org or directly with Courtney Ledwick @ 904-445-6477.
