Community Supported Agriculture and Education
Workshare & Volunteer
These programs, offered weekly from spring through Thanksgiving, are zero-cost and our most hands-on opportunities for education, engagement, food distribution, and recipe/preservation instruction. In order to experience, learn, and take home a variety of harvests during a growing season at Churchview, all that’s required is a willingness to learn and gain new experiences in a collaborative environment.
Our 2024 season is wrapping up, but check back in late winter when we get started for 2025!
Churchview Farm is a teaching and learning space that could not exist without our amazing force of volunteers, interns and CSA workshares. Their efforts and dedication are what keep us going and growing, and our mission is to bring the community to the Farm. Spend a few hours of your time working with us in the fresh air and sunshine, and leave with delicious, healthy food, a unique learning experience, satisfyingly sore muscles, and a well-earned farmer’s tan.
Please note: we do not offer a paying CSA membership; our Workshare and Volunteer programs are no-cost hands-on educational experiences, where members of the community participate in all aspects of small-scale food production and take home the produce, herbs, and fruit grown at Churchview.
· Workshare vs Volunteer ·
Volunteers sign up as they’re able, with no commitment. Workshares commit to 5-6 hours on the Farm once a week during our growing season (late April - Thanksgiving) in exchange for a full CSA share, and we accept a limited number of workshares each season. Both workshares and volunteers come to Churchview to learn and engage with a community of growers, and everyone leaves with bountiful fresh, healthy food - and lots of recipes and preservation ideas, provided by Farmer Tara and local chefs! Gardening/farming experience is not necessary or required, simply a willingness to learn.
Please review our Workshare Guidelines and send us an email if you are interested in signing up. Workshare opportunities are first come first serve, but volunteer opportunities are always available. Just ask to be added to our weekly email list, and sign up when you’re able to join us!
