The FAQs
What will I be doing there?
You’ll be working outside or in the greenhouses. Tasks range from weeding to sifting compost to moving wood chips to pruning rose bushes. This is a working farm, so come prepared to get dirty and have some fun!
What do I need to bring?
Wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. Please bring:
your own gardening gloves
a refillable water bottle
sunscreen and/or a hat
Could I bring a group out to volunteer?
Yes, as long as you have scheduled it first. Please contact shelley@lynchburggrows.org to make arrangements for groups.
Can my kids volunteer, too?
Children under 17 are welcome to volunteer, as long as they are accompanied by an adult. But if you are a high-schooler who wants to become a regular volunteer, please contact Sam Parsons at the email above to discuss it.
If you are looking for a way for younger kids to learn about the farm, we encourage you to take advantage of our virtual field trip video or schedule a tour, both of which you can learn about on our TOURS page.
Can people with disabilities volunteer?
Yes, we welcome volunteers with disabilities. We do require that volunteers with disabilities have someone (job coach, social worker, family member) to accompany them to the farm and assist them as needed.

Thank you for your support!
