HOW IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

With the help of dedicated volunteers like you production has risen from 2,500 pounds at the start to 127,000 pounds in 2020, all of which is donated to over a dozen hunger relief organizations.

DESCRIPTION

We welcome high school students on Wednesday and Friday mornings, rain or shine, hot or cold. High School Farm Team volunteers will receive direction from our farmers and then work independently with other peers. Community Service hours can be approved upon request. This is a great way to meet other high school students and learn about the many tasks involved in raising healthy, fresh produce.
