Want to Spend a Day on the Farm?
We get asked a lot if we accept volunteers—and the answer is yes! We love welcoming folks who want to spend a day (or half-day) outside, get their hands dirty, and learn more about how vegetables are grown. If you have a lot of questions and want to ask in person, this is the best way to do it!
Volunteering at Gathering Springs Farm is a great way to enjoy fresh air, move your body, and get a behind-the-scenes look at a working farm. Tasks vary by season and may include planting, harvesting, bed prep, or moving tarps—sometimes mellow, sometimes a solid workout. We’re always happy to share what we’re doing and why (just know we tend to talk while moving!).
Things to Know Before You Come
Work is outdoors and weather-dependent—dress for the forecast and wear clothes and closed-toe shoes that can get dirty
Bring gardening gloves if you have them
There are very friendly farm dogs who may jump and will definitely offer kisses
We don’t work outside in storms or drenching rain, but we may switch to indoor tasks—so don’t assume inclement weather means cancellation
Scheduling
Scheduled volunteer days are the 1st Friday of each month; we can accommodate other Fridays if that doesn’t fit
Currently we can’t use volunteer help on the weekends - we are either at market or taking a break!
