Happy Thanksgiving Meetinghouse Farm Friends

We are so sorry that we have had to cancel this year’s
Pie In The Sky Bake Sale due to COVID concerns.

Pie

We have grown attached to the tables of beautiful homemade pies, breads and other baked items we share with the community each Thanksgiving.  The opportunity to see our bakers and our buyers each year has become a valued tradition and we are sorry to miss it this holiday.

Since COVID has impacted many of our fundraising efforts, we thought we would try turning the tables on this favorite Thanksgiving event and ask our supporters to consider a modest donation to the Farm.  We are suggesting donations in the range of your usual sweet purchases and have set up a fun way to donate.

Choose your favorite pie and make a donation on Pay Pal to Meetinghouse Farm.  We hope this will encourage some fond memories of past sales and help our budget a bit as well.        

Whatever adjustments you have had to make to your Thanksgiving plans, we wish you a wonderful day.

Stay healthy!  We’ll miss you on Thanksgiving Eve!

Volunteering is ...

Diverse

Volunteer tasks range from raking and pruning autumn leaves to maintaining the Farm’s growing mailing list. Volunteers may make a long-term commitment such as caring year-round for the herb garden, or commit to a short -term task such as baking an apple pie for the annual pre-Thanksgiving Pie Sale. Whatever your skills or schedule there’s a task for you!

Educational

Because the Farm promotes horticultural and agricultural education, many volunteers report they learn new skills as part of their volunteer experience. Whether helping “hands-on” by planting a new variety of lettuce or hosting a local food expert. There is always more to be learned.

Collaborative

Maintenance and improvement of the Farm is a challenging responsibility for volunteers. The Farm has a history of collaboration with organizations and community service programs for large labor –intensive tasks. The adage “many hands make light work” certainly applies when residing a barn, removing acres of invasive bittersweet or installing new gardens.

Satisfying

Happiness research indicates that volunteer service builds personal satisfaction and a sense of purpose. If you love to “dig in the dirt” you also know that gardening provides a multitude of physical, emotional and spiritual rewards. Whether weeding while hawks circle overhead, talking plants with a Master Gardener, or savoring quiet moments unplugged from a high tech world, volunteers report they are nourished by their time “down on the farm.”

Valued

Volunteers are essential for every aspect of the Farm’s operation. The skills, schedules and personalities of our volunteers are diverse and each unique contribution is valued. The Farm really is made possible because of a community of volunteers who care deeply about the Farm’s mission and goals. A famous Gibran quote says, ”Work is love made visible.” Never more true, than in the work of committed volunteers.
