IN AN URBAN SETTING WHILE SUPPORTING OUR FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMSWe are
excited to welcome VOLUNTEERS BACK TO THE FARM. Everyone, young or
old, experienced or still learning, is welcome to join our community
workdays held currently on select Saturday afternoons from 1 - 5 PM.
We are welcoming up to 15 volunteers per day and registration is
required in advance.
_Please only sign up for what you can 100% commit to and let us know
ASAP if you do not plan to attend so we can open your space to someone
on the wait list. _

whole day (1:00-5:00 pm), however we understand that some may need to
leave early. Please let us know when you arrive.

at the beginning of the workday. After an orientation, we will work on
various projects and will end the day with a vegetable harvest for
volunteers to take home. Farm projects may include weeding, planting,
bed preparation, fruit tree work, compost making, mulching, pathway
maintenance, greenhouse work, and more.
