Get Involved: Volunteer!

Volunteering at the Farm

We are volunteer-driven, and we rely on the passion, energy, talent, and willingness of hundreds of volunteers like you to help provide fresh, nutrient-dense produce to those experiencing food insecurity. The size of our garden is directly proportional to the size of our volunteer base, so the more volunteers, the more food grown!

Garden volunteers choose how little or how often they help out. Some come once a season, while others come once a week. From sowing seeds to harvesting, compost making to pulling weeds, garden volunteers do a little of everything.

Our volunteers have the opportunity to:

  • Engage in local, direct community service

  • Enjoy meaningful work

  • Learn more about food and where food comes from

  • More deeply understand the root causes of hunger and systems that perpetuate it

  • Meet others

  • Socialize with friends

  • Pick up gardening skills

  • Enjoy fresh air and exercise

Sign up for Root Cause Farm emails and connect with us on social media for the latest news and updates, including  timely volunteer information and special events!

 

We’ll be working in the garden March through November!

Whether you're new to gardening or have a garden of your own, we would love for you to come get your hands in the soil with us.

Drop in volunteer hours, no need to RSVP:

Every Sunday 3-5pm. Hours can vary by time of year and based on weather. The most up to date information is always posted on our Instagram page.
