RSVP For This Event
Exercise is great. It works our bodies, but it doesn’t accomplish any work! What if you could get your exercise and lend a hand to a local farm? Now’s your chance with our Farm Fit Work Party at Mountain Run Permaculture on Saturday, July 13 (5-8pm).
Join us for this workparty + farm tour + potluck. Grab some gloves, bring a shovel or two and help move some mulch on this regenerative farm. Put to action the old maxim: “Many hands make light work”.
Mountain Run Permaculture is the farm and homestead of Mark and Allison Angelini. They are nested in the northwest corner of the larger Mountain Run Farm, a multi-generational, multi-enterprise family farm. The Angelini’s are engaged in a layered approach to permaculture based ecological agriculture that includes: no till herb and vegetable production, bioregional apple production, small fruits and berries, composting systems, edible mushroom cultivation, water harvesting, woodland management, perennial plant propagation, seed saving, commercial-scale pastured egg laying chicken flock, and more.
