Volunteer of the Year
2009: Sydney McGrath, now in middle school, has been volunteering at the farm every Friday for the past few years. Her favorite animals are the pigs. She is very reliable, capable, independent, quiet and focused.
2008: Joan Teebagy is our volunteer of the year for her extensive work with our poultry, and willingness to help as needed! Joan has cotaught our chicken classes, helped with various groups including the Metco group and girl scouts. Joan is an avid gardener, has chickens of her own, and is enjoying her new grandson!
A billion thanks to Farmer Dave for helping me with my hen problem, and providing me with another key resource! The perfect example of why a community farm is so important. Love Codman Farm!
