Please see below for a list of current volunteer opportunities:
Tuesday, April 16th, 2024
Join the UlsterCorps Glean Team and the Farm to Food Pantry Collaborative to glean produce at the farm on Tuesday, April 16th from 9:30 to 11:30 AM.
As our winter CSA winds down, we’ll harvest from select beds of our high tunnels to make way for the coming summer tomatoes and cucumbers. Crops we’ll glean could include spinach, chard, kale, and herbs, and will be distributed to local food pantries, shelters and community meal programs. The greens are under cover in unheated high tunnels, so the gleaning will be held rain or shine. Volunteers of all ages are welcome (youth volunteers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
If you can help out for an hour or more, please email glean@ulstercorps.org or call/text 845-481-0331.
Wednesdays at 1PM
We are excited to try a new volunteer day this year to create a space for you all to come learn and try your hand at farming. It’s a rather informal program, every Wednesday at 1 PM you can show up at the pavilion and join the crew for a few hours. We’ll do projects that span across all areas of farm work: transplanting, cultivating, irrigation, harvesting and more. You’ll get to engage in growing your own food and we would love the help! No farming experience is required and we have tasks that suit a variety of physical boundaries. All volunteers should be 15+ years old. We’ll collect your email and let you know if our volunteer day is canceled for any reason.
When you show up bring
- a water bottle
- sun protection – hat, sunglasses, sunscreen
- a sense of adventure
Organizations
We welcome organizations too! If your group organizes volunteer activities, we can host you for a volunteer day on the farm.
If you have any questions, you can also reach us by phone at 845-256-9108, ext 3.
