Opportunities at Common Good City Farm

Farm Volunteer:  Farm work varies almost as much as the weather and as a Farm Volunteer, you may be asked to do anything from planting seeds and weeding to painting, picking up trash or building. To enroll as a Farm Volunteer you must first attend a one-time 45-minute volunteer training, which takes place at Common Good City Farm the first Saturday of each month at 9:30am - sharp, May - September.  Please register online or by phone for the training.  Once trained, Farm Volunteers can sign-up for shifts online any time the farm is open.  Volunteer spots are limited depending on how much work there is on the farm from week to week, so we do ask that you pre-register.                                                                                                                                                                                                            Volunteers planting and mulching      
Off-Farm Volunteer:  Work on the farm is only a tiny part of what we do. We often need help behind the scenes too. If you are interested, committed and able to help us off the farm, some immediate ways we needs are:

  • outreach                                 
  • grant writing (if you have some experience)   
  • database management 
  • gleaning for equipment and supplies from Craiglist, freecycle, etc.
