Come get your hands dirty with us!

We host volunteer days once a month, inviting our community to gather, share space, and lend a hand in growing good food with care for the land and each other.

This year’s volunteer days are planned for the following dates:

April

May

June

July

August

September

October

These dates are subject to change, so we encourage you to check back as the day approaches—especially if the weather looks a little wild.

This is a chance to slow down, be outside, and connect—with the soil, the seasons, and other folks who are curious about where their food comes from. No experience needed, just a willingness to jump in and give it a try.

Depending on the day, we might all work together or split into smaller groups, but you’ll always be alongside others, learning as we go. We spend our time tending the garden in all the ways it asks of us—pulling weeds, feeding the soil with compost, shaping beds, planting, harvesting, and helping things move through their natural cycles. 

We do our best to make these days welcoming and accessible for everyone. If you have specific needs or questions, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to work with you.

We can’t wait to meet you in the garden!

W H E N

Drop in anytime between time to be determined—come for a little while or stay the whole evening. There’s no pressure to arrive right on time. All ages are welcome, and we simply ask that little ones stay close to their grown-ups.

Our farm is on the land below the Bend of Ivy Lodge look out for our mailbox which reads 3717 & 3719 (gps often takes you just passed it) The driveway is directly next to the Oak Grove Baptist Church (large brick church.) Travel all the way down the driveway till you come to a large parking area, park here. Towards the end of the lot you will find a sign that reads, “Farm. Foot traffic only.” We are down this next driveway where you will notice a blue porta jon on your left and a little cabin on your right. Keep walking, take the sharp right turn down to the farm. (If you go straight it will take you down to the river.)

You will see a big old barn down the driveway and the gardens, welcome!
