Volunteer at the Farm

Volunteers help keep the farm running. Volunteer tasks vary from week to week. Farm tasks may include keeping our fields free of weeds and rocks, planting new crop rotations, deadheading flowers, teaming up on irrigation, composting, mulching, and having a great time getting dirty. We ask that volunteers come prepared with close-toed shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty! We have gloves and tools for all.

We welcome volunteers 10 years old and older. Those between 10 and 14 years old are required to have a guardian actively volunteering alongside them for the duration of the volunteer session.

We reserve the right to cancel volunteer sessions up to two hours in advance. Possible reasons for cancelation are a change in COVID-19 guidelines as outlined by the University or County Officials, excessive heat (90 degree and above), poor air quality, rain or other inclement weather.

We encourage all volunteers to carpool, bike, ride public transportation; there is a charge for parking on all Stanford property. The farm is not responsible for any tickets incurred while volunteering.
