In the heart of the kitchen, where laughter is bright,
Chef Charlotte was crowned our Spaghetti Knight 🍝✨
With a spoon held high instead of a sword,
She stirred up joy that we all could afford.
A pot full of pasta, a sauce rich and warm,
Gathered our Farmily, in it's usual good form.
Plates passed around, smiles shining wide—
With every bite, there was joy, there was pride.
All hail the Knight of noodles so fine,
Serving up love, one plate at a time 💛👑🫅🥘

As harvest season ramps up in the Greenhouse and Kitchen Garden, we have more volunteer opportunities available in the kitchen. Tasks include washing, chopping and packaging freshly harvested produce/ We might even have a few canning projects. You'll meet a friendly & welcoming community of volunteers, participants and staff who would love to get to know you better as we work together and while we enjoy a delicious lunch on your volunteer day.
