⬩ Volunteer Opportunities ⬩
Several times each month throughout the growing season, we host a morning of what we playfully refer to as “meeting, weeding and eating” when we invite community members to Stonewood Farm to help us maintain the Market Garden. This is the garden where we grow produce for our various outreach programs like the First Harvest Pantry at Lyall Church and Meals on Wheels.
The commitment requires approximately three hours of work in the garden, which is followed by a simple complimentary lunch with our entire farm staff in our Cookhouse as our way of saying thank you. It’s the perfect opportunity to exchange ideas about important current issues involving food access and to learn how we can better serve our community from members of the community.
During the time working in the garden, volunteers must be able to bend, crouch, and kneel on sometimes rocky, uneven surfaces. Volunteers should plan to have plenty of water, sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses, knee pads if available, work gloves, and snacks if needed. Appropriate clothing with closed-toed shoes is a necessity.
If you’re interested in lending a hand and meeting new neighbors, please sign up below for one or more of the following dates.
If you’ve signed up for a date and can’t make it, please email us at farmer@stonewoodny.org as soon as possible so someone else can fill your space. In case we need to postpone due to inclement weather, we will email you with a proposed rain date.
2025 Dates will be released in early Spring via our Newsletter. Sign up for the Newsletters below.
