Join the Sweetwater farm crew for a field work morning at our farm on 6942 W Comanche Ave, Tampa, FL 33615 . The farmers need lots of volunteer power to spruce up the fields to keep us growing strong.
The food grown at Sweetwater (registered 501c3 nonprofit) helps to raise vital funds to teach visiting students and community members where their food comes from and about organic agriculture!
All volunteers should wear closed toed shoes, clothes they don’t mind getting dirty and to bring a reusable water bottle. We also recommend a hat, sunscreen and bug repellent.
We’ll meet at 8:30am, so be ready to enjoy a day in the sun at the farm!
Please RSVP so we can plan the day to Chris at office@sweetwater-organic.org
