Zepp Farm - Fence Installation Help Needed

Zepp Farm needs volunteers to help install fencing. Starting October 31st we will be putting up fence. We need help setting posts, filling in dirt, tamping and then stringing wire. Volunteers on Zepp Farm must be at least 18 years of age. Volunteering will be done Monday-Saturday from 8-Noon or Noon-4. We will do one four hour period per day. The time period for the day will be determined by the first person signing up for that day. We will do our best to keep the time period for each day updated on our calendar, however if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call. We will need volunteers to help with the fence installation at least through the month of November. Due to the nature of the work and the type of farm please do not bring anyone under the age of 18 with you.
