Description

Clagett Farm is currently open to visitors and volunteers in limited numbers and by appointment only

Schedule

Mid-May through Mid-November

Tuesday, Thursday, Friday

Hours: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Activities:  Field work (weeding, planting, mulching, etc.) and harvesting.
To sign up: Visit https://events.cbf.org/calendar to see available shifts and register online. Registration is limited and must be completed online.
Number of volunteers we need per day: 10

Volunteers must be 16 and older. Please plan to get dirty and please dress for the weather—rain gear if it might rain, warm layers if it will be cold, and long, light-colored, light-weight clothes, a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen if it will be hot. Always bring a water bottle. We have plenty of fresh water to re-fill your bottle. We have extra long-sleeve shirts and gloves to protect you against irritating plants, but you might prefer to wear your own. We also recommend bringing a spare pair of long pants if you don't plan to wear them, since some of our crops, such as squash and okra, can be itchy.

Complete the Volunteer Health and Information Form (provided upon registration) prior to your scheduled arrival at the farm.
If you will be here during lunch, bring food with you. And please take your garbage home with you, since food waste tends to attract pests when left in our garbage cans.
