Help us out at Oxbow Farm! Oxbow is an organic farm and education center located in the Snoqualmie Valley. We have open opportunities for volunteering twice every month.
Second Saturdays of the month with the Native Plant Nursery: 10am - 2pm.
Next opportunity: November 8, 10-2
We will be working on an ongoing project to restore a native hedgerow around the periphery of the farm. As organic farmers, we beleive it is important to take care of the surrounding environment as well as our produce. We have been restoring native vegetation to our forest, riverbanks, and hedgerows since 1999.
Please RSVP for Farm and Forest Fridays/Saturdays to volunteer@oxbow.org. Upon arrival, please park in the gravel parking immediately to the left of the driveway, walk down to the barn and we’ll meet you there!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to inspire people to eat healthy, sustainably grown food and to steward our natural resources for future generations. By creating connections to, curiosity about, and confidence in nature, Oxbow Education (OxEd) lays the foundation for future stewards of the Earth, giving people the tools and inspiration to cultivate their own relationship with their community, the food they eat, and the natural world.
Description
The Center is located on 240 acres of forest and grassland bordered by Western Washington’s Snoqualmie River. We use this mixed landscape to:
Produce food. We cultivate 30 acres of mixed vegetable crops using agro-ecological principles and engage in research to inform conservation farming practice.
Grow native plants. We operate a native plant nursery that produces plants for habitat restoration projects, educational gardens, and urban landscapes, and conducts research on native plant propagation using sustainable growing methods.
Connect children to nature. We offer environmental education programs for children pre-K thru high school to build their comfort in the outdoors and provide them with opportunities to learn about the links between agriculture, conservation, and the environment.
