Volunteer Opportunities
We could not do the work we do without volunteers! Volunteering at the farm gives you the opportunity to build new relationships with other people and with the land. Working with Venetucci staff and other volunteers, you will have the opportunity to acquire new knowledge and skills related to sustainable farming while participating in the rewarding process of producing healthy, organic produce for the community. There are also opportunities to share what you already know with the many young people who visit the farm through our education programs.Starting in April 2010
