We need your help on the farm!

Join us Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to noon as we prepare our seedlings and fields for fall planting.

The fresh produce we grow is shared with local organizations that distribute it to individuals and families facing food insecurity. Additionally, our harvest supports educational programs focused on healthy eating and gardening.

This is a great opportunity to get hands-on farming experience, contribute to an important cause, and make a meaningful impact in the community. No prior experience is necessary-just bring your energy and enthusiasm!

Volunteer shifts: Monday - Saturday, 8 AM - 12 PM
Location: Wimberly Roots Farm, Behind the WImberly Center

Sign up today to make a difference!

About Wimberly's Roots Community Garden and Kitchen

Location:

Mission Statement

Wimberly's Roots combats food insecurity by providing fresh, locally grown produce and educational programs in nutrition, gardening, and sustainable agriculture. We empower communities to lead healthier, more sustainable lives through engagement and accessible resources.

Description

Wimberly's Roots is a nonprofit organization committed to addressing food insecurity and promoting healthier communities. We grow and distribute fresh, locally sourced produce to underserved populations while offering a variety of educational programs focused on nutrition, gardening, and sustainable agriculture. Our hands-on workshops, classes, and demonstrations teach individuals and families how to grow their own food, make nutritious meals, and adopt environmentally conscious practices.

In addition to food production and education, we engage the community through events, volunteer opportunities, and collaborations with local chefs, educators, and agricultural experts. Our demo kitchen hosts cooking classes and healthy eating initiatives, while our community garden and farm provide spaces for learning and cultivating fresh produce.

At Wimberly's Roots, we aim to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to lead healthier, more sustainable lives, while fostering a strong sense of community and shared responsibility for food security.
