Equipment

Harvest will provide major group equipment, including tents for camping (all trips camp in tents) and stoves for cooking. You will be responsible for your personal equipment, listed below. Please read this list carefully. Remember to look in your attic or basement before you go to the store. If you don’t have exactly what’s listed, something close will probably work! We have a limited number of sleeping bags which can be borrowed from us. 

Though we will be staying on one farm for the entire Harvest trip, we don’t want to show up with enough stuff to fill up a barn (or tent)! Limit yourself to ONE medium-sized duffel bag or frame pack for this trip. While you should leave your hair-dryer at home, farm living does allow for some amenities, so bring along your guitar or favorite songbook to share on the trip. You will not be able to shower on the trip, but most farms have a pond or water spigot! Email moobahs@gmail.com with any packing-related questions.

We spend most days doing farm work, so bring clothes you feel comfortable working hard and getting dirty in! We like to wear long pants and long socks to avoid ticks. Layering is recommended as it is quite hot during the day and can be cold at night.
