Willing Workers On Local Farms (WWOLF): WWOLF is a project of Central  Oregon Locavore Non-Profit. Our mission is to lend a helping hand to small farms while educating the community about the true nature of local food.

The farm: Smudgie Goose is located on 87 beautiful acres along the banks of the Crooked River. They have 2 greenhouses, 25+ hens, a handful of bee hives, 170 plant varieties, and a lot of work to do! The sell their produce from their farm stand, at Central Oregon Locavore, and through a 20-week CSA.

How it works: Meet at the farm at 10am. We encourage folks from Bend to carpool from Central Oregon Locavore at 9am! After a round of introductions we’ll split into groups and get to work. We’ll break for lunch around 12:30pm, then return to work until 3pm. Please pace yourself and have fun!

A delicious FREE lunch will be provided courtesy of Primal Cuts Meat Market, Humm Kombucha, Great Harvest Bread Company, No-Bake Cookie Company, Central Oregon Locavore, and Smudgie Goose Farm. Please bring your own plate, cup, and eating utensils if you can (we’ll have some on hand if you forget).

What to expect: Good times, new friends, deep satisfaction, and  a boots-on-the-ground education about local farming practices. Children are more than welcome with adult supervision. We love dogs, but please leave them at home for this event.

What to bring: Work gloves, closed-toe shoes, warm layers for the weather, snacks, water, sunscreen, and your own lunch bowl, cup, and spoon.

To sign up or ask for more information: Please contact Owen Murphy at omurphy@cocc.edu or 541-383-7766. Just so we don't catch you by surprise, we will ask that you sign a waiver before participating. Thank you!
