Do you know how to grow beautiful flowers? Would you like to grow flowers on a larger scale? Wagner Farm is seeking volunteers that already have experience growing flower varieties commonly cut for bouquets, including dahlias, zinnias and more.
We're happy to work with your schedule to create an experience that works for you as well as for the farm. Weekdays are preferred.
Supplies and supervision are provided. We mainly focus on vegetable production and recently expanded our cut flower operations. We would like to lean into your flower growing expertise to help our fields flourish.
If you love being outside and connecting with the land, this is the place for you!

Mission Statement
To promote an educational and memorable experience through programs and site visits that ignite the imagination, inspire our visitors, and preserve our local agricultural history.
Description
Historic Wagner Farm is one of the last working dairy farms in Cook County and is open to the public for recreation and learning. The farm provides a unique opportunity for families to learn about our farming heritage and experience first hand "the way things used to be."
In addition to the cows in the pasture, Wagner Farm has chickens, draft horses, and pigs as well as a restored farmhouse and barn and the award-winning Wagner Farm Heritage Center. The Heritage Center contains interactive exhibits where you can learn about farming from the early 20th century through the present, "shop through history" at our 1930s Grocery Store or purchase a souvenir of your visit from our Museum Store.
Historic Wagner Farm offers public visitation hours, educational programs for all ages, and special events throughout the year as well as seasonal sales of farm products.
