Farming is a Team Sport!
We rely on community volunteers to do what we do
The Food Bank Farm relies on a great group of local volunteers to make the farm work. We have weekly drop-in volunteer opportunities on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. We always say that farming is a team sport, so join our team and help us grow healthy, fresh vegetables for our neighbors.
There are also other ways to get involved beyond these regular shifts. If you'd like to learn how you could get plugged in, drop us a note.
