Suggested by Hannah Kim! OTIS stands for "Organic Things In Season" and it is a project that grows produce in a urban environment. The project is focused on providing affordable access to healthy food in undeserved communities by emphasizing health education, food growth, community building, and economic development. As a volunteer, your duties may include cleaning up, tool organizing, planting or transplanting seedlings, earthwork, soil and plating rows layout, among other design/built improvements to the farm. You will also learn how to recycle and compost, how to prepare health soil, start a garden, grow food, collect rain water and other gardening techniques.
