About our Farm Volunteer Work Parties
Farm Hand |
During the growing season, the plants need a lot of hands to tend to them. From planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting to any other pressing farm tasks, there is lots to do! Do you love getting your hands dirty, basking in the sun, working with others, and watching beautiful vegetables grow before your eyes? Volunteer with us!
* Farm volunteers accepted on a rolling basis. Please contact us before showing up on a fieldwork day. |
