Volunteer

The smooth operation of our farm depends on the hard work and dedication of our farmers and apprentices and the invaluable support that we get from our volunteers. Our community is more than just a random group of people buying vegetables. Many of our members have a strong involvement with and commitment to our farm. Many of us feel connected to one another because of our common love of good, clean, highly nutritious food and our love and concern for the earth. And on a farm, where there is always so much to do, we welcome volunteers to help seed, weed, harvest and more.

People who volunteer here often report that they get more out of the experience than they give. Being in the fresh air, outdoors, working with soil, plants and food gives them great satisfaction and joy. We hope to tap into the many talents, passions, and interests of our CSA community. What are yours?

Some areas that need your involvement are:

• Membership. This includes outreach, mentoring new members, pick-up day greeters.
• Events. Help plan programs, cooking demonstrations, workshops, festivals, and pot lucks.
• Buildings and Grounds. This covers the upkeep and upgrade of the CSG property and maintenance of the garden house and distribution center.
• Children’s activities. Help plan and implement activities and special events for children and their families.
• Fundraising/grant writing. Help raise revenue for capital improvements and other expenses not covered by shareholder fees.
• Special projects. Our wish list includes construction of an outdoor wood-fired bread oven and a certified kitchen.

We welcome your input! We look forward to hearing how we can all work together. Please contact if you are interested in helping out. Email csgardeninfo@gmail.com, call the garden house at (908) 362-7486, or talk to us at the farm!
