Come out to enjoy a beautiful Saturday morning on the farm and meet others in our community! We'll have water, gloves and tools; just bring a refillable water bottle, snacks, comfortable clothes that can get dirty, closed-toe shoes, your own personal gloves if you have them, and be ready to work!
Directions & Parking: From downtown Durham take Roxboro Road north to the stoplight at Milton Road. Turn left and continue past Eno Valley Elementary. Immediately after the school look for the Hub Farm sign on your left. Parking is available in the grassy lot. Walk around the signs and gate and follow the gravel road to the barn - we’ll meet you there!
What to Bring:
- Closed-toe shoes
- Clothes that can get dirty
- A water bottle (we’ll have plenty of water, we just ask that you bring a reusable bottle!)
- Snacks
- Gloves (we have some for those who don't own a pair!)
- A hat
- Sunscreen
- Waiver Form
In the case of inclement weather, the workday will be cancelled. All volunteers will be notified prior to the event.
Durham Public Schools requires that all non-student volunteers complete an online application prior to working on the farm. You can find the application here: https://ec.volunteernow.com/recruiter/index.php?class=VolunteerRegistration&recruiterID=1343
