Volunteer with your Area 2 Farmers
At Area 2 Farms, we’re growing more than just vegetables—we’re cultivating a resilient local food system rooted in community. And like any thriving ecosystem, it takes more than a single part to make it work. Volunteers play a vital role in helping us grow.
We rely on volunteers not just as extra hands, but as partners in our mission. From spreading the word in the neighborhood to supporting the behind-the-scenes work of farming, volunteers help make local food more accessible and visible in our community.
Volunteers Help Us Reach More Neighbors
One of the biggest challenges for any small, local farm isn’t just growing food—it’s making sure people know it’s available. Our team is distributing door hangers in nearby neighborhoods to build awareness about our weekly harvest deliveries.
Volunteers contribute by sharing the message of fresh, local food grown right down the street. It’s a simple way to help, but the impact is big. Every conversation started and every flyer left on a doorstep helps someone discover what’s growing nearby.
Volunteers Support Our Worm Breeding and Compost System
At Area 2 Farms, we run a worm breeding program that supports soil health and composting in our farm. Tracking worm cocoons (tiny, jellybean-sized eggs) takes patience and sharp eyes.
That’s where volunteers come in. By volunteering just an hour or two a week they contribute to the long-term sustainability of our growing system by helping us count and log cocoons. It's a quiet task, and for many, it's a surprisingly calming way to connect with the science behind regenerative farming.
Why It Matters
By volunteering, folks in our community are actively shaping a healthier, more connected food system. They help us grow our reach, improve our farm operations, and share the story of why local food matters.
We believe farming should be transparent, collaborative, and grounded in community care.
