Volunteer at the Accokeek Foundation’s On-Farm Market and help provide healthy, organic produce to the local community! We need 3-4 Volunteer Market Assistants to help run the Saturday On-Farm Markets at the Ecosystem Farm. Market Assistants will help with set-up, clean-up, and sales, and will also help answer questions about the produce, how to prepare it, and what’s "growing on" at the farm. Volunteers should be comfortable interacting with the public and talking about produce, have an interest in creating community around the Ecosystem Farm, and be able to commit to a regular schedule. For more information, or to apply, please contact Casey Lowe at volunteers@accokeek.org.
*Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age or older.

Mission Statement
According to the Foundation's 1957 charter, "It shall be the purpose of this Corporation to preserve, protect and foster, for scientific, educational or charitable use and study for the benefit of the people of the nation, the historical sites and relics, trees, plants, and wildlife rapidly disappearing from an area of great natural beauty along the Maryland shore of the historic Potomac River."
Description
In partnership with the National Park Service, the Accokeek Foundation stewards 200 acres of Piscataway Park. Situated directly across the Potomac River from George Washington’s Mount Vernon, this land was protected to preserve historic views and now serves as an outdoor classroom for educational programs about land conservation, historic preservation, sustainable agriculture, and environmental stewardship. Entertaining tours and performances, customized experience based activities, and service learning opportunities help visitors connect to the land and to one another.
