Open Volunteer Days

Join us at our Hawthorne Avenue Farm on the third Saturday of each month, April to October. Help us prepare and maintain our farm while you take part in this hands-on rewarding experience. Participants must be 12 years of age or older.

Individuals and groups are welcome. For groups of 5 or more, please call ahead.

Remember to bring a reusable water bottle, to wear gardening clothes, and closed-toe shoes!

For other volunteer opportunities, please fill out our Group Volunteer Application or contact Michele Robinson.
