Volunteer On-Farm, Hands-On
Bringing the community on-farm, hands-on is central to our mission.
Growing and teaching how to grow food, and then sharing it is what we do.
Our work is fueled by volunteers just like you.
We invite you to join us!
Individual and Family Volunteering
Work alongside our staff as we pot-on transplants, care for our field, welcome our community on-farm for events, and more! The tasks vary depending on the season and what the farm needs. Sign up here!
Group Volunteering

group visit. Sign up here!
If you’d like to bring a group on-farm outside
of times listed,
please email our volunteer coordinator volunteer@kcfarmschool.org
