Come Grow with us!
Volunteers are an essential part of the operation of Sustainable Berea and the Berea Urban Farm.
By volunteering, you contribute to the well-being of your community, gain knowledge and skills, and have fun!
​
Volunteers on the farm can expect a variety of tasks from weeding, planting, mulching, pruning, harvesting and more. During the April Victory Garden Blitz, volunteers build raised beds, bag soil, and deliver and install the beds.
​
In order for you to prepare properly, please review our volunteer guidelines listed below. We also ask that you complete a waiver form the first time you volunteer and yearly after that.
​
Thank you! We hope to see you on the farm!
