Landscaping our farm is so important to the community and the productivity of the farm! We grow 5,000 pounds of food each year but that cannot be done without our neighbors. We like to keep the farms looking good so we can attract more help from our neighbors! (Landscaping also prevents falling, makes the crops easier to access and grow, encourages neighbors to keep their green spaces clean too!) There are so many reasons to do land management and landscaping at our farm! Our farms are directly responding to Covid by supplying produce to our seniors who can't leave their homes or have access to healthy food. So, we are looking for individuals or small families or pods (because of Covid Restrictions) who are willing to show up for three hours, grab some tools and gloves and do some work! The work ranges from weed whacking to mowing to pulling weeds to spreading mulch to picking up trash! You sign up for a time slot and meet us onsite and we'll give you all you need to fulfill the task! When you arrive at 9, you'll be given instructions from our farmers and have 3 hours of wonderfully productive time outside! Our time slots are on every Wednesday from 9am-noon. It's BYOG (gloves) if you want but we'll have some clean ones there if you don't have any. Sign up with Jayna Powell at jpowell@civicworks.com and you'll get connected to farmers who will instruct you on the tasks at hand! This is a GREAT chance to get some fresh air and make a difference! And we'll be doing this all year!

Get outside! Join our Community Lot Team as they transform abandoned lots into beautiful community gardens and green spaces. Volunteers are needed to help with gardening and landscape work. Tasks may include picking up litter, cutting down weeds, installing walkways, creating garden beds, and planting trees. Research suggests that cleaning neglected lots not only improves the appearance of the area, it also makes the neighborhood safer and healthier. No experience is necessary to volunteer with us. All work is outdoors, and most work is physically demanding. Due to safety issues on some of our lots, volunteers must be 14+. NOTE: DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS, WE ARE LIMITING THE NUMBER OF VOLUNTEERS AND USING STRICT SOCIAL DISTANCING WHILE WE VOLUNTEER! OUR SITE CHANGES EVERY WEEK! YOU'LL BE GIVEN THE LOCATION WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR A DAY. Groups are welcome to schedule service days Wednesdays or Thursdays for 3 or 4 hours between 9am and 1pm. Smaller groups only (10 or fewer) are allowed at this time, due to Covid restrictions. Apply here or email jpowell@civicworks.com. Individual volunteers can join us on any Wednesday or Thursday or the 3rd Saturday of the month from 9-12. The locations vary according to what lots we are working on. Contact jpowell@civicworks.com to get on the schedule. We are also hoping to add another Saturday a month.

THIS OPPORTUNITY STARTS ON MARCH 4TH AND GOES THROUGH DECEMBER. On Thursdays and Fridays, we will be delivering fresh produce to 150-200 seniors in their homes. We need drivers who will come to the farm, pick up 5-10 boxes of food and a route and deliver the food. It takes about 2-3 hours. (2 hr shifts deliver 5 boxes, 3 hr shifts deliver 10) The shifts are: 9:00-11:00, 9:00-12:00, 9:30-11:30, 9:30-12:30, 10-12, 10-1, 10:30-12:30, 10:30-1:30) You need a vehicle. We can provide mask and gloves. We have a very specific safety protocol to keep 6 ft between driver and others at all times. Drivers must be comfortable collecting money (usually in an envelope) or using an EBT machine (very simple-we train you). No contact with seniors. We'd like our drivers to sign up for once a week or once a month or bi-weekly if possible. We will be delivering through December. (you do not have to sign up for the entire time!)
