Come cook pizza on the farm! At the Fall Harvest Fest, our pizza cooking volunteers are a key players in making this event as fun and memorable as it is! And it's really not hard once you get the hang of it!

You will be standing on a concrete pad in front of our wood fired pizza ovens, sliding 12'' pizzas on parbaked crusts in and out of the oven with a paddle, cooking them for 3-5 minutes next to the fire. They really don't stick to the paddles! You'll be using long, heat resistant gloves that protect your arms as well, so need to worry about heat. Once the pizza is cooked, you'll put it on the counter right in front of the oven where another volunteer will cut it. There will be four people in total working this station with you (two cookers, and two cutters). You can certainly trade places at any time. There are four volunteer shifts open during this time slot so bring your friends!

Volunteers need to be able to stand for two hours, lift arms above the waist, and twist.
