Get down and dirty with a day of hands on volunteering at the Heritage Farm! These volunteer days will teach you how a small-scale sustainable urban farm operates, the importance of soil management, and how we support a productive landscape that balances animals, plants, and humans. You can expect to assist with bed building, bed prep, seeding, weeding and more!
