VOLUNTEER
Help those who lack access to fresh, affordable, high-quality food in your community, learn more about growing food sustainably, and spend time outside on a farm as a volunteer.
The Food Project’s sustainably managed farms are designed for human — not machine — labor. We rely on volunteers to help tend to the fields and help grow vegetables to donate and distribute locally. Volunteers work on the farms in the spring and in the fall when our youth crews are in school.
Group volunteers, our season has wrapped up for 2024. Please check back in February 2025.
Individual Volunteers, please visit this page for more information.
Work-For-Share Volunteers: Applications are open!!!
Our fall work-for-share volunteers get us through the late summer and fall season on our farms after the youth return to school. Tasks may include moving compost, prepping beds, mulching, transplanting, harvesting, weeding, turning the compost pile, etc. Volunteers should be ready to do all sorts of manual labor, rain or shine! In exchange for their labor, work-for-share volunteers receive fresh veggies from our farms!
Volunteers should expect to go through a phone screening with one of our staff. Volunteers for our Lynn farm must be willing to fill out a CORI-SORI background check because it is located at a public school.
