Shalom Farms Volunteer Day
Thursday, April 18, 2019 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
The mission of Shalom Farms is to work with communities to ensure access to healthy food and the support to live healthy lives. Through sustainable food production and hands-on experiences at the 12-acre farm and in the city, Shalom Farms provides thousands in Richmond with access to healthy food…and healthy lives. For more information visit shalomfarms.org.
Every volunteer visit is different depending on many variables including group size, weather, etc. After being given an educational tour of the farm, some of the tasks you may participate in include:
- planting spring and summer crops
- staking and covering newly planted crops
- cleaning tools (crates, buckets, hand tools)
- weed control and prevention
- harvesting greens
- preparing fields for summer
