Volunteer at the farm with America’s Grow-a-Row!
Come out to the farm to give back to the community! We are looking for volunteers to help harvest produce for our neighbors in need.
What started as a small family garden with extra produce, is now America's Grow-a-Row, a 423-acre farm and 501(c)3 nonprofit that donates over 4 million pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables each year to hunger relief agencies - 100% of what we harvest is donated!
Our free volunteer events run Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, mid-June through mid-November. We welcome volunteers of all ages and skill levels. No prior experience or tools are necessary! All children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
A typical volunteer day includes:
8:50 am: Arrival and welcome
9:00-9:15 am: Introduction to our mission and why your volunteering makes a difference.
9:15 am-12:00 pm: Hands-on harvesting of crops like zucchini, eggplant, corn, tomatoes, and more.
Please sign up using our individual volunteer calendar https://bit.ly/agarCalendar
Interested in bringing out a community or corporate group (5-250)? Please complete the Group Volunteer Form or find more information on our volunteer page to begin the scheduling process.
ALL VOLUNTEERS MUST REGISTER AT LEAST ONE DAY IN ADVANCE SO THAT WE CAN EMAIL YOU THE FARM LOCATION.
