Volunteer at Arcadia's New Community Farm

The Route 1 Community Farm will make farmland and fresh food more accessible to residents in the Route 1 Corridor who lack space and resources for their own gardens.

Together we’ll build toward great food sovereignty through the farm’s educational events, technical assistance, and other resources.

Event Location: 5580 Mount Vernon Mem Hwy. This address will get you to the farm road entrance in Google Maps. Please read these detailed driving .

We will be setting up the growing beds and path ways by:

Moving compost and soil to fill low spots in the ground.

Filling raised beds with compost or soil mix.

Other gardening tasks as needed.

What to wear & bring:

Close toe shoes that can withstand mud. Long sleeves and pants are recommended. Bring a sun hat and water bottle.

We welcome folks of all ages. If you plan to bring a child under the age of 10 years old, they will need your supervision at all times.

In case of poor weather:
We will email and/or text you if bad weather causes us to cancel the event. Please monitor your emails and texts before coming to the farm.
