Sunday on the Farm

Bruce Daniels, Aaron’s beloved grandfather, published a collection of short stories from his epic life experiences entitled Sunday on the Farm, and a sequel called Just Another Sunday on the Farm. Both are worth your time. The man lived a full life and had a way with words. In keeping with the idea of making Sunday on the Farm an experience, we’re opening Fail Better Farms to volunteers on Sunday mornings starting in April.

What You Can Expect

Volunteers will help us tend to animals, crops, and/or infrastructure. You can expect to learn something, get a little exercise, bond with our Great Pyrenees, commune with nature, and receive top-notch entertainment from our kids. We guarantee no pay and hours of arduous, back-breaking work in the hot sun. Cheers!

A Few Tips

  • Wear clothes and shoes you don’t care about because they’re bound to get dirty.

  • If you plan to use bug spray, make sure it’s DEET-free. (We’re picky about chemicals here.)

  • Bring work gloves if you have them and don’t want to get your hands dirty.

How to Sign Up

Because we’re living in strange times, folks interested in lending a helping hand are asked to schedule their visit in advance. If you’re interested in experiencing farm life while enjoying the company of Aaron, Mary, and their wild kids, send an email to mary.failbetterfarms@gmail.com. We’re happy to have you!
