Join ACORN and Rural Vermont on Sunday, November 3, from 9:30 am - 3 pm* at Tup’s Crossing Farm, 66 Young Rd, Orwell, VT, for a pasture reclamation work brigade!
We will be trimming back and wrapping shade trees in an 8-acre parcel to increase grazing opportunities for a herd of dairy goats. No previous skills are necessary, but experienced chainsaw users are very welcome to bring their saws (please contact [email protected] about this).
Work brigades are a popular education tool used around the world to strengthen communities, build trust and solidarity through collective labor, connection, mutual aid, and knowledge sharing. This brigade is hosted by the Vermont Agroecology School Collective and the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN-VT). Lunch, refreshments, education, and tools will be provided. RSVP's are required for planning purposes.
Vermont’s ability to feed itself relies on thriving community-scale farms working together toward food sovereignty and community resilience. We hope you can join us!
*We may finish before 3 pm, depending on numbers. It’s okay if you can’t stay for the whole time, but we encourage you to come at the beginning!
We hope to see you in Orwell!
