Volunteering
Volunteer for Veggies
We love our volunteers - and depend on them to grow food for Missoulians from all walks of life. When you work with us on the farm, you get veggies in return for your hours worked.
River Road and Orchard Gardens Neighborhood Farms welcome help during the week, generally between 9 and 5. But call first so we know you're coming.

Information
Working Expectations
Volunteers are expected to ask the farm manager for assignments,
and check in when the task is completed. If you will be late
or absent for your scheduled shift, please call.
Prepare for Variety
Volunteers should come to the site prepared for a variety
of work and weather. Bring gloves, hat, rain gear, water,
snacks, and sun protection. Closed toed shoes are required.
Smoking
Smoking is not allowed at the garden sites or greenhouses
because of the tobacco mosaic virus, a plant disease that
affects members of the tomato family. Smokers are asked to
wash their hands before coming into contact with plants or
soil.
Benefits of Volunteering
The Garden Organizer gives out produce at the end
of each shift to volunteers participating in this program.
We are family friendly! Many sites have play areas and kid
friendly gardens.
You'll learn a lot by volunteering on our farms. If you want to improve your farm and garden knowledge, this is a great way to do it.
