Come join us for a one-time volunteer opportunity in January as we prepare the farm for our new greenhouse! We will be weeding and clearing an area, as well as adding a fresh layer of woodchips to garden paths. Please register so that our farm coordinator Scott knows to expect you. All first time farm volunteers need to fill out a one-time volunteer application.

*Marra Farm’s regular volunteer opportunities will be opening to volunteers on Tuesday, February 23rd.

Special considerations for COVID-19

  • We recommend bringing your own gardening gloves if you have them. Otherwise you’re welcome to use ours and they will be laundered in between use.
  • All common touch points as well as tools are being either sprayed with a bleach solution or washed with soap and water at least once per day.
  • We are limiting volunteer registration to 15 people at a time.
  • Social distancing of 6 feet or more will be observed while working on the farm.
  • We ask all volunteers to wear a face mask while they volunteer.
  • We’re adapting as new best practices come forward from public health officials.

Garden at Marra Farm (South Park)

What to bring:

  • Face covering or face mask (we can provide them if needed)
  • Lunch and/or snacks
  • Water bottle
  • Clothes and shoes for working outside in all weather -raincoat, warm socks, sturdy shoes, sunhat, etc.
  • We provide gloves/knee pads/tools/etc.

Many of our volunteers start with limited or no gardening knowledge and learn as they go, so we welcome you with whatever level of gardening skills and knowledge you bring!  We look forward to working with you this season!
