We offer weekly volunteer days every Wednesday and Friday from 10-3 pm from April to November. Volunteers assist with daily farm tasks which include planting, weeding, harvesting, bed prep, composting and more. Volunteers may also assist with harvesting and product making for our Herbal Mutual Aid Apothecary. The Apothecary provides free or low cost herbal products to DC residents. This opportunity is great for anyone who is interested in learning how to grow food, or just wants to find a way to support the organization and Kelly Miller community.
