Volunteer on the Farm this season at Waltham Fields Community Farm

We need weeding help! Come on out the farm fields and join us!

The farmers at Waltham Fields Community Farm would love your help! We are offering In The Weeds Saturday mornings to come out and help us weed our crops. Come by at 9am and we will go out in the fields together. It's really rewarding to see the result of your labor, and to know that you are directly helping to grow more food for distribution.

If you can not make 9am, come between 9-10am and look for the shelter in the middle of the field. Farmers Andy and Marina will meet you there! They will show you what to do. No experience necessary. We have kneeling pads and gardening gloves if you want to use them. We stop at noon, you can leave anytime.

Please wear closed-toe shoes and don't forget sun protection.
