Get involved on the farm!
Over the last 20 years, Growing Gardens has brought sustainable agriculture education and food donations to over 136,000 Boulder County residents. Growing Gardens’ programs empower people of all ages, income levels, and abilities by reconnecting them with their local food systems and teaching gardening, cooking, and nutrition education. Over 20,000 pounds of produce, as well as 30,000 plant starts and seeds, are donated to low-income community members to impart greater food security and hunger relief in our community.
Boulder Farm (1630 Hawthorn Avenue)
We can use volunteers for all sorts of different types of projects on the Hawthorn Site depending on the day and the season. Please register HERE if you would like to be on our list of interested volunteers and our staff will reach out as opportunities arise.
Food Project Farm (Ed and Ruth Lehman YMCA, 950 Lashley St., Longmont)
The Growing Gardens Food Project focuses on increasing equitable access to nutritious foods, and on raising food literate youth who value healthy eating, and who are well equipped to prepare and eat fresh vegetables. We have a variety of opportunities to get involved on the farm and volunteer throughout the year.
The Dairy
Volunteering at our Goat Dairy is a really special experience, but requires special training and a deeper level of commitment than dropping in to help grow veggies.
Perennial Volunteers
We are hoping to find dedicated volunteers who are interested in taking on a self-directed specific task or project that fits within their skill set. Over the years we have had many great volunteers who have worked themselves into a consistent role here at the farm. We are looking to fill the following positions with dedicated volunteers who feel like they can put their skills to work with us here at the farm.
