Farmer Lindsey Simmonds was one of many volunteers who arrived with family, firefighting equipment, and muscle to help us extinguish smoldering fencing posts and plant material.
Saturday mid-morning quick mini farmstand 11am – 11:30am, first come first served.
Huge thanks to all the volunteers and farm family who came out to help us on Sunday afternoon during the brush fire and into the dark hours, to extinguish most of the smoldering fence posts, tree stumps and embers. No words to express our deep thanks.
See the top post on our site for ways to donate to support our recovery from this massive fire that burned more than half the farm and destroyed a lot of infrastructure.
Rain showers have been helpful but crops still need to be watered. A number of our mainline water transport lines got melted in the fire. Farmer Luca is working to replace those lines to resume watering crops on the outer edges of production area.
Volunteering details
We will be meeting at the farm entrance at 4pm on Saturday and Sunday to clear fence lines of burnt treated lumber. Please be on time. Non-smokers/non-tobacco users only please.
Response has been big for this weekend. There will be more volunteering efforts after this weekend, and if turnout is overwhelming for this weekend’s cleanup we may ask a few folks to sit this one out. We may put an online volunteer signup system in place.
We want to impress upon those thinking about helping, that the fire was only recently fully extinguished, and air quality is still poor in these pasture areas. Windy conditions continue to lift ash and blow it around. Masks are absolutely suggested. Folks with respiratory issues should not come. Also know that there will be lots of walking. If you have mobility issues, consider not coming to this session. We will have other volunteer days coming up as well.
Our main focus this weekend is going to be clearing fence lines of burned treated lumber (telephone poles), and collecting burnt plastic and other waste materials. Possibly some documentation and assessment tasks as well. Protect your skin.
Lastly, if you are a tobacco smoker or user, we really would prefer if you would not help. It is still tomato season and there’s still a chance that our crops will get tobacco mosaic virus from having you out here handling tools, supplies and gates.
Volunteers, please bring:
Gloves, long sleeves
Dust mask or fabric mask
Good sturdy work shoes
Drinking water and snacks
Loppers for pruning dead branches and vines off fencing
Wire cutters for cutting burnt areas off electric netting
A wheelbarrow if you have one
