The Abundant Table's Open Farm 1st Saturdays are a way for the wider community to connect deeply with the farm and its mission. Come learn and explore. Volunteer your time and labor. Learn more about our ecological justice, environmental stewardship and farm education programs for youth and their families. If you or someone you know needs volunteer hours, this is a great way to do it!
First Saturdays beginning January 6th, 2018
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Our farm tour and themed learning for the day begin promptly at 10am so please arrive early to check-in. We begin with an introduction to the farm combined with the sustainable agricultural learning component. We follow this with a tour of farm operations and end with an opportunity to weed a row of crops as service to the farm.
The Abundant Table Farm @ McGrath Family Farm
These 1st Saturdays are a marvelous opportunity for those interested in volunteering on the farm,
either just once or on an ongoing basis.
They also provide the chance for folks to visit and
explore the farm;
families with
young people
are most welcome!
Folks of all ages can learn about our mission at
The Abundant Table and how to make a difference in even the smallest way.
Each month, we will explore a different aspect of sustainable farming (from soil science to organic pest control), creating a rich and immersive experience.
RSVP's are strongly encouraged as they can help us prepare the farm appropriately. Please RSVP and/or direct questions to Lisa Devine,
Intern Program Director and Volunteer Coordinator
lisa@theabundanttable.org
While we appreciate any and all who visit and volunteer on the farm, we still have to cover the cost of farm operations while it is open on Saturdays.
We request a small donation of $5 per person to cover these operational costs.
