  • Come get your hands in the soil with the 21 Acres team as we care for the land and each other through seasonal farm and restoration projects.

    This October, we’ll close out the growing season with bigger projects that prepare the farm and restoration spaces for a restful winter. We’re also excited to pilot weekday volunteer shifts… perfect if you can’t make our Saturday work parties, or if you’d simply love to spend more time on the farm.

    By volunteering, you’ll help grow thousands of pounds of fresh organic vegetables, support vital pollinator habitats, and strengthen climate resilience right here in our community.

    We’d love to see you out here with us – invite a friend and sign up today! No prior farm experience required. All tools provided.
