Farm Friends

We invite you to support our mission and be a part of a change for good.  


Get your hands dirty and your heart full — become a volunteer at Green Thumb Farm!

Whether you’re a passionate grower, a total beginner, or just looking for a way to give back, volunteering with us is a hands-on way to support local food, learn new skills, and connect with nature and community.

💚 Why Volunteer With Us?

Our volunteers are the heart of Green Thumb Farm. By committing your time — even just a few hours a month — you help us grow more food, run our community programs, and keep our farm thriving. In return, you’ll enjoy great perks, meaningful experiences, and the satisfaction of making a real impact.

📅 How Often Can I Volunteer?

We ask our regular volunteers to commit to coming weekly, fortnightly, or monthly, so we can provide proper training and count on you as part of our small team. You choose the day that suits you — Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday mornings.
