Yurt building parties! Feb. 9th and 10th

When:

Feb 9 2013 - 10:00am - Feb 10 2013 - 5:00pm

YURT WORKPARTIES Saturday and Sunday!!

We are very excited to be getting a 30 foot yurt for our Village Green, to be used for events and workshops of all kinds!

On Saturday 10am-5pm we will finish the giant wood platform and subfloor, as well as finish scrubbing the walls and roof til they are nice and clean! Join us for a sunny day and a fun workparty! Snacks, lunch and general awesomeness will be provided.

On Sunday at 10am we will build the yurt!! This requires just a few people, so if we have a crowd, their job will be sharing smiles and support. It will be fun to watch this building emerge!! Snacks will be provided. Please bring your own lunch (or contact Jenny--we might make this a potluck!)

Please RSVP to Jenny (at) tryonfarm (dot) org if you can come on SATURDAY! Thanks!

If you are super excited about this project and want to help in other ways, let Jenny know! (For example, there are teams for flooring, heating, lighting, decorating, etc.)

Fun with Goats Workparty! April 27, 10-3

When:

Apr 27 2013 - 10:00am - 3:00pm

Oh wow! It's mucking time! Yup - time to muck out the goat barn (note - to muck a barn means to dig out all the layers of bedding straw, which are saturated with a year's depostits of goat poop and urine, and to put it in a pile to compost and become awesome fertilizer).

Doesn't that sound so fun? Truly, it is an olfactory experience not to be missed. And, if we've got enough person power, we'll also be building a new browsing area for the goats tp eat all the new blackberry shoots growing in our "blackberry eradication" areas.

If muck shovelling, fence building, and animal camraderie sound fun to you, please join us, from 10-3 over at the barn. We'll have a lunch break mid-day and will feed you if you've worked hard :)

If you've got questions, please contact brenna[at]tryonfarm.org.
