City Slicker Expands into Orinda, Needs Volunteers

Hi All,
City Slicker Farms is happy to announce that we have a new farming
site--an acre of land on a south-facing slope in Orinda just off the
HWY 24 and Orinda BART station. We will be creating a vegetable
farm and fruit orchard there and plan to market all the produce
through our farm stands in West Oakland.

We will be having monthly volunteer workdays the First Sunday of
each month from 10am-2pm and welcome all volunteers for this
beginning phase of planting cover crops, creating paths, mapping out
beds and irrigation, installing fencing and planting trees (this
phase should take around 6 months).

Robin Galas is coordinating this garden, so if you have any
questions or suggestions or would like to volunteer please contact
her at robingalas@gmail.com.

Our first workday is this Sunday, March 5th from 10am-2pm (unless
it's pouring rain of course) at 69 Oak Road in Orinda (take HWY 24
or BART to Orinda exit; South on Moraga; West on Stein; North on
Oak). If you take BART you will need a bike since it's about 1 mile
down the road.

Here is a link to a map so you can get there:
