Volunteer Days at Bellwether Farm
Join us on Saturday,
October 19 or Wednesday,
October 30 from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m.for a volunteer farm day at Bellwether Farm.
Register through Eventbrite.
Volunteering on Bellwether Farm's 1.5 acre farm is an experience like no other. Spend the morning learning about regenerative farming while harvesting, processing, weeding and building community in the process. Our goal is that everyone who steps foot on the farm walks away with a newfound reverence for our soil and the hands who spend day in and out growing the food that nourishes us all. No experience is required and we welcome all ages. Please wear close-toed shoes and bring a water bottle. We do ask that you try and stay for the entire volunteer block if possible. We'll send you home with some farm produce as a thank you for your time and investment in our community.
