Farmers on 57th Society (Volunteer Learning Program–Field Work)

• Background/police check required
• Appropriate for volunteers aged between 18 and 55
• Appropriate for volunteers aged 55 and over
• Training or orientation required

This full season (March-October) learning experience will immerse you into the world of ecological farming. It is a practical hands-on experience where you exchange your labour and commitment for our instruction, supervision and mutual commitment. You will learn sustainable methods of tending to the land, harvesting & processing vegetables, preparing beds, tilling, seeding, & more.

Located conveniently in the Marpole neighborhood, the farm’s proximity to public transportation offers a sustainable and easy option for visitors and volunteers to access green space, and to take a break from bustling city life.

We welcome all people of different skill and knowledge levels!
