Great Kids Farm is hosting our 3rd Annual Fall Food and Jazz Festival as a fundraiser for programming here at the farm. As a volunteer, you can enjoy a selection of dishes prepared by city schools' culinary students using Great Kids Farm produce, as well as locally-sourced food, wine, and beer. The Dunbar High School Jazz Band will be providing live music for the event. http://www.friendsgkf.org/event
We are looking for volunteers who are willing to give 2-4 hours of service (or more!) between 12 pm and 8 pm on Saturday October 10 to help with various aspects of running the event. Volunteer needs include: set up before the event, greeting guests, parking attendants, floaters to run errands for last minute needs, and clean up after the event.
Come support real food and experiential educational opportunities for Baltimore City School students by donating a few hours of your time. This is sure to be a wonderful event!

Mission Statement
Friends of Great Kids Farm, Inc. is a nonprofit organization created to support and promote Baltimore City Schools’ Great Kids Farm. The Farm, occupying 33-acres of abundant fields and forest just west of the city, engages students with good food from farm to fork and prepares them to lead sustainability efforts in their communities. We envision a new generation of healthy, creative young people fully aware of their ability to live lightly, profitably and joyfully with one another on this earth.
Description
Great Kids Farm is a 33-acre living, working farm that educates students of all ages about healthy eating, sustainable agriculture and the natural sciences. Great Kids Farm connects young people in Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) to the soil, plants, and animals that nourish their bodies and provide their food. Through hands-on experiences, students and teachers use Great Kids Farm to bring classroom lessons to life.
Operated by Baltimore City Public Schools, the 33-acre Catonsville farm is integral to the school system's efforts to improve school food and educate children and families about how nutritious foods form the foundation for healthy people and a sound environment.
