Volunteer at 21 Acres: Farm Stewardship

Come get your hands in the soil with the 21 Acres team as we care for the land and each other through seasonal farm and restoration projects. By volunteering, you’ll help grow thousands of pounds of fresh organic vegetables, support vital pollinator habitats, and strengthen climate resilience right here in our community.

This October, we’ll close out the growing season with bigger projects that prepare the farm and restoration spaces for a restful winter. We’re also excited to pilot weekday volunteer shifts... perfect if you can’t make our Saturday work parties, or if you’d simply love to spend more time on the farm.

We’d love to see you out here with us - invite a friend and sign up today!

No prior farm experience required. All tools provided.

Be prepared for your visit to the farm:

• Please always wear closed-toe shoes for your safety.
• Raincoats and rubber boots are advised on rainy days.
• Remember to check the weather and dress accordingly.
• Wear loose-fitting comfortable layers that you don’t mind getting dirty.
• Long sleeves and long pants are recommended.
• Bring a reusable water bottle and snacks to stay fueled and hydrated!

Accessibility

We are committed to making our volunteer events as accessible as possible. Please reach out to our team with any questions, concerns, or needs prior to the event. If you are not attending this event due to accessibility concerns, please let us know. We welcome your feedback.

The 21 Acres farm is not ADA accessible. The roads are unpaved, and the ground can be uneven. Our LEED-certified education center is ADA accessible. There is an elevator in the building that goes to the second-floor restrooms. While our restrooms are not gender-neutral, we invite all guests to use the restroom that aligns with their identity.

Cancellation

Safety is our first priority. If existing or anticipated conditions pose a moderate to high risk to volunteers and staff, we will make the decision to cancel volunteer activities.

In the event of cancellation, registered volunteers will be informed of cancellations by the Volunteer Coordinator as soon as possible. Please make sure that the email and phone number you provide during registration are accurate.

If you are feeling sick, we kindly ask that you respect the safety of yourself and others by not coming to campus. Send an email to [email protected] or call us at (425) 481-1500 if you are unable to attend your scheduled shift.

Questions? For accessibility or other inquiries, please email Issy Steckel, Volunteer Coordinator: [email protected].
