Volunteer Day at Black Rock Farm

Alright friends, we need your help!! We are throwing out the SOS flag because we *might* have bitten off a little more than we can chew…again lol

Fall is a crazy busy season for us, and in preparation we will be cutting an tying our corn stalk bunches on August 29th, 2025 from 9:00am-12:00pm!

We have a machine that cuts and bundles the corn, we simply have to tie a second string around the bunches and organize them in bins! We will need some people to lift bunches (approximately 30lbs) off the trailers and then into the bins, and other people simply to cut and tie strings! All tying will be done in the shade in our barns (with fans) and will require standing and walking for about two hours. This is open to all ages and skill levels.

Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Schedule:

9:00am - 11:00am | Working with the corn stalks

11:00am - 12:00pm | Lunch provided and cow visiting (we will be ordering pizza, please reach out if you have any dietary restrictions)

• Registration required (free) to help us plan food accordingly

• Closed toe shoes required, long pants recommended.

• We will have water bottles on site, but feel free to bring your own non alcoholic beverages.

We will be ordering pizza from Vince’s in Smithsburg. Please reach out if you have any dietary restrictions)

THANK YOU for considering helping us for the morning- it means the WORLD!🧡
