Description

Do you like getting your hands in the soil, learning about different plants and bugs, and getting to know new people? If so, consider volunteering at Red Wiggler Community Farm, a 501(c)3 certified organic farm that employs individuals with developmental disabilities to provide nourishing food for the community.

We could not do what we do here at Red Wiggler without volunteers being willing to expand their skills, getting to know the Growers and sharing their expertise. We are always looking for individuals who have the time and dedication to commit to Red Wiggler. During the spring season, most of our volunteer opportunities are M-F, 9 am - 12 pm.

Our field volunteers assist with every aspect of keeping our farm running: transplanting, harvesting for our CSA and for donation, weeding, watering, pest management, and more. As a volunteer you have an opportunity to be a partner to a Grower, learn about sustainable and organic farming methods, and join our inclusive community.

COVID information: Red Wiggler does not require mask wearing outdoors, but we are still social distancing and requiring masks indoors for all individuals, as well as limiting our indoor capacity. Our COVID response is constantly evolving, so check in with us directly if you have concerns or questions.

For information on next steps, please visit the individual volunteers page of the Red Wiggler website, or email volunteer@redwiggler.org.
