December, 2023: As winter closes in, we have ended Friday and Saturday morning drop-in hours for the season. We may have scattered volunteering opportunities in winter; we will post on our Facebook page and Instagram if so - or check this web page. We are enormously grateful to the 550+ volunteers who came out to work in the farm fields, in our educational garden areas, at our public events, and more - contributing over 1,500 hours of work this season! Thank you for contributing to Waltham Fields COMMUNITY Farm ~ we hope to see you in 2024!
FRIDAY & SATURDAY MORNING DROP-IN VOLUNTEERING HAS ENDED FOR 2023. Check back in Spring of 2024.

YOUTH - Elementary - High School:  To learn more about scheduling a volunteer/community service experience primarily for youth/students aged elementary through high school, click here then fill out the "Field Trips" form and mention your volunteer request.


CORPORATE GROUPS / ADULT GROUPS - Corporate/University/Faith-based/Social. Check Calendar below for open dates.

WHAT DOES A GROUP DO?  In Spring-Autumn, the work may involve planting, weeding by hand or hoe, harvesting, or other farm tasks in the fields; occasionally in the greenhouses also. We usually have little need for Winter work as we put the farm to bed for the season. It varies each week so we can not predict what you will be doing until we are close to the date. But no experience is necessary, just a willingness to pitch in and see the satisfying results of your labor!

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A DATE? We welcome groups of 5-15 (ask if your desired group size is larger) for morning or afternoon shifts of ~3 hours. Choose a few dates and times from the calendar below that work best for your group, then complete the Volunteer Group Form. We will get back to you within a week. Please note that availability on this calendar does not guarantee that space will be available for you until you have heard back from us. Thank you! We really value your support and look forward to working with you! Please review our Tips for Volunteers in advance of your first experience.

IS THERE A FEE? Most corporate volunteer groups also make a financial contribution but this is not a requirement (typically ~$75-100 per volunteer for corporate groups, and $10-$25 per volunteer for community/non-profit/faith-based groups). This financial contribution helps defray our costs. Please reach out even if you do not have a budget for this; it is not at all a requirement. We want to hear from you and look forward to working with your group!
