• All common touch points as well as tools are being either sprayed with a bleach solution or washed with soap and water at least once per day.
• We are limiting volunteer registration to 20 people at a time.
• Social distancing of 6 feet or more will be observed while working on the farm.
• Bring and wear a mask for at least the brief times that it’s harder to space out. We can provide you one if needed.
• We’re adapting as new best practices come forward from public health officials.
