I am glad that you came but want to add to what you are saying. I hope everyone reads the description of what my farm offers to volunteers, we want people’s expectations to be inline with the reality here. We teach by example, although while you were here I did have a soil scientist, a biologist, here helping with the volunteers and she gave many micro learning sessions on soil, amendments, + always there are the incredible local employees here who know so much. Me, I have a full time job, when you were here I was hiring a project manager for it and my long days were coupled with many interviews and many new clients. To me, it is challenging when people volunteering are intent on having a conversation when I say I have a meeting in 5 minutes on Zoom, I need to be there. It is hard for me when people cannot respect that and they feel like I am not meeting my obligations (kindly, read our description). We very much enjoy chill people who like to explore their interests, add to our project and can engage in farm related tasks without too much explanation, (certainly with too many expectations from me directly). If you come with that mindset I believe you will get more than what you expect. Thank you.
