Farm Programing
Volunteer
Twice each week farm staff host volunteer tasks to keep the farm running! We welcome all that are 10 years or older to join us in a variety of tasks from weeding and planting to harvesting and bouquet making. Minors age 10 - 14 must have a guardian actively volunteering along side them.

This year the farm featured 29 varieties of cut flowers - dahlias and sunflowers, celosia and asters, snapdragons and amaranth - many in shades of Cardinal red. We provided sustainably grown seasonal blooms for campus events. In addition to gracing many a campus table, these flowers provide habitat for beneficial insects that help control crop pests, and nectar for our resident bee hives.
