About this event

  • 5 hours 30 minutes

Volunteer at Soul Fire Farm to learn about some of our farming practices while supporting our work and getting your hands on the land.

We are asking for donations to cover the cost of snacks and lunch. Lunch will be a gluten-free, plant-based meal. If you have other dietary restrictions we kindly ask that you bring your own meal.

In order to ensure community safety all volunteers must follow our Visitor Guidelines and adhere to our Safe and Functional Space Agreements

Please only register if you are able to stay for the entire day as spots are limited. Everyone including children age 2+ must have a ticket to attend.

Please plan to arrive on time since orientation is an essential part of the event.

ACCESSIBILITY NOTES

Water: The tap water from our deep well is excellent. Please bring a reusable water bottle and avoid single use plastic containers.
