Volunteers needed for Earth Oven building!
Join us for a unique opportunity to help build Appleton Farms new Earth Oven. If you have an interest in outdoor cooking, perfecting your pizza making or are curious about Appleton’s new project, then this is for you! We need 6 volunteer ‘cob mixers’ for Wednesday May 15th, Thursday May 16th and Friday May 17th, from 9am-12pm. Mixing cob is done with bare feet and promises lots of twisting and shouting! We also need 4 volunteers for both Saturday and Sunday from 9am-12pm (May 17th and 18th). The weekend crew will be helping form the cob into the oven. This is a great opportunity to learn about sustainable and creative cooking practices! No experience necessary. Please contact Susan Wood at swood@ttor.org or at 978.356.5728 to sign up or with any questions.
