so today, four of us got together at 8 a.m. and headed out to Akin Organic Farm in Terrell, TX to volunteer with The Gleaning Network of Texas. we volunteered to help with the harvest of potatoes, LOTS of onions, garlic and beans at the Akin farm after the death of their patriarch, Michie Akin. it was dusty and a little hot, but it sure was fun. they grow all kinds of yummy food (trust me, i know because we ate a few beans as we were picking!) and then distribute it - some to sell, some to donate and some goes to the volunteers that harvested it. if you're looking for a volunteer opportunity that only takes a few hours and would be fun for kiddos, this is it!
anyhow, this is what i wore today:
