Volunteer: Red Wiggler Community Farm Snack Support

Snack Support Volunteer:

Do you love to cook and prepare food to share? Are you interested in volunteering on a farm but not sure if field work is right for you?

Red Wiggler Community Farm is a sustainable farm where people with and without disabilities come together to work, learn, and grow healthy food. This season we're looking for people to partner with Grower staff members (our staff with developmental disabilities) to prepare snacks for the whole team using our extra farm ingredients – think garlic scape pesto and pickled radishes! This commitment runs from 10:15 am – 1:00 pm on Tuesdays and/or Thursday mornings during the main season, from mid- to late-May through the end of August/September. This person could come weekly, monthly….we’re flexible!

Prior knowledge of cooking and food preparation is a plus, as is food safety standards. We're hoping this individual will be able to exercise independence and creativity within this role. 

This opportunity is open to all ages but anyone under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult. 

If interested, email volunteer@redwiggler.org
