8/2 Work Brigade at Magnetic Fields Farm
Ever wanted to learn how to build a greenhouse or high tunnel? Want to support a local trans and queer-owned farm? Join us at Magnetic Fields Farm in Athens for greenhouse construction and repair! We will be building and mending two 30’x96’ Ledgewood high tunnels. All instruction provided. Note that this brigade focuses on metal frame construction; we won’t be putting poly on (yet!). There’s additional opportunities to support weeding and trellising if that’s of more interest.
Work brigades are a popular educational tool used around the world to strengthen communities and build trust and solidarity through collective labor, connection, mutual aid, and knowledge sharing. Lunch by Jamaican Jewelz, refreshments, education, and some tools provided. If you have your own impact driver, drill, sockets with connectors, adjustable wrenches, or ladders, those are all welcome.
