Long Lane Farm Bucket List Work Day

IMG_4607Attention all seniors!

Have you been meaning to come to the farm since you were a frosh? Is your thesis done and all you want to do is be outside? Are you worried about what you learned at Wes and interested in supplementing all that great theory with some agricultural skill? Do you want to spend your Saturday morning with some cool farmers, ducks and chickens?

It’s not too late! Come to Long Lane this Saturday at 10AM to check a day on the farm off your Wesleyan bucket list! Workdays usually last about 2 hours; the perfect amount of time to get some work in before heading to Zonker.

All class years and levels of experience are welcome, but we especially want to give seniors a chance to experience Long Lane!

A group will be meeting in the Neon Deli Parking Lot at 10 to walk down to the farm together.

Date: Saturday, April 16
Time: 10AM
Place: Long Lane Farm (corner of Long Lane and Wadsworth) OR Neon Parking Lot (130 Cross St)
