2024 season harvest total: 4,420 pounds, or more than 12,300 servings of fruits and vegetables

Harvested produce is made available in a "Nutrition Nook" area, located inside the Health Office, with shelving to store potatoes and onions and a refigerator to store other leafy greens, carrots, and the many other wonderful fruits and vegetables we grow. Produce is also distributed to local food pantries.

Sign up to volunteer here. We welcome drop ins, too! No gardening experience or equipment is required -- you will learn alongside other volunteers and Extension Small Farms Agent, Anthony Reardon.
Volunteering at the garden is a great way to learn about growing food while creating community with others, getting physical activity, and contributing to a good cause.
