Open Farm Day Volunteer Opportunities
Every Saturday 10AM – 1PM, April-November
From greenhouse to garden, volunteers are essential partners in our work. If you enjoy working outside, meeting new people in your community, and learning more about how to grow food, you’ll love volunteering with us. Mucking animal coops, seeding in the greenhouses, applying compost, planting and taking on larger projects are just some of the farm chores you can help with. No experience is required to volunteer; we will train you on everything you need to know. Don’t forget to dress for the weather, wear sturdy close-toed shoes and bring a water bottle. Come on your own or register to bring a group.
If you would like to meet Common Ground students, learn about our programs, and help us on the farm all at the same time than Open Farm Day Volunteer Saturdays are a great place to start.
Group Volunteer Opportunities
We are happy to host corporate groups, alumni associations, community service students and college classes during our volunteer days. To schedule a group contact the Farm Director Deborah Greig at Deborah.Greig@commongroundct.org /203.389.4333 x1217. If you want to come by on your own, email farm@commongroundct.org.
