Join our team at the Smart Farm and be a part of an extraordinary journey towards building a healthier community! As a volunteer, you’ll play a crucial role in nurturing our farm that proudly donates 21,000 pounds of fresh produce (vegetables and herbs) annually to local food pantries that provide 18,500 meals! With a diverse range of over 50 crops and 150 varieties, our farm is a vibrant ecosystem, that also houses beehives. So why wait? Sign up today to step into the world of Smart Farm and make a difference!
Our Smart Farm volunteers help in a couple of different ways:
- Smart Farm field support - volunteers help with planting, weeding, watering, harvesting etc. Volunteers come once a week for a 2-4-hour shift on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 8am – 3pm during the months of mid-May through October (weather-dependent). It’s an activity that requires standing, walking and frequently kneeling on your knees. Volunteers don’t drive tractors or operate electrical/motorized equipment.
- Smart Farm flower support - volunteers harvest flowers, learning how / when to cut different species; fill buckets with water, gathering supplies; create bouquets.
- Smart Farm stands – we offer our produce for sale at a farm stand. The stand is open at the farm every Friday and at the hospital alternating Thursdays (mid-June through mid-October). Volunteers help with produce set-up and take-down, selecting and bagging produce, as well as processing credit card and cash payments. This opportunity is already filled for the 2024 season.
We look forward to having you on our team!
