Volunteer: Helping Hands for The Urban Farm

Be an everyday hero and help us sow seeds of change and ensure our farm stays beautiful, efficient, and welcoming. From planting to harvesting to keeping pathways clear and beds weed-free, your hands will create an oasis in the middle of a food desert. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's something for everyone to learn and contribute!

Ages 8 and up

 

Our Urban Farm is located at 702 Fenwick St, Augusta, GA, next door to The Master's Table Soup Kitchen, near The James Brown Arena.

When you arrive:

1.     Drive up to the main entrance gate and press the button on the call box. A staff member inside will remotely open the gate for you.

2.     Park your car in one of the designated volunteer parking spaces. The entrance to the Urban Farm is to the right of The Master's Table Soup Kitchen, down the sidewalk.

Attire: Get ready to get down and dirty! Wear comfortable shoes or boots suitable for gardening, and don't forget your essentials for working outdoors - think bug spray, a hat, sunscreen, gardening or work gloves, and a trusty water bottle to keep you hydrated.

This opportunity is physically demanding. While gardening is therapeutic, it can also be quite the workout! Be prepared to flex those muscles and lift at least 50 pounds during our gardening sessions.

Volunteer: Urban Farm Volunteering

Be an everyday hero and help us sow seeds of change and ensure our farm stays beautiful, efficient, and welcoming. From planting to harvesting to keeping pathways clear and beds weed-free, your hands will create an oasis in the middle of a food desert. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, there's something for everyone to learn and contribute!

Ages 8 and up

 

Our Urban Farm is located at 702 Fenwick St, Augusta, GA, next door to The Master's Table Soup Kitchen, near The James Brown Arena.

When you arrive:

1.     Drive up to the main entrance gate and press the button on the call box. A staff member inside will remotely open the gate for you.

Volunteer: Quiet Hour at the Farm – A Mindful Volunteer Experience

Sometimes, the most meaningful way to connect is in the quiet.

Quiet Hour at the Farm is a peaceful, self-guided volunteer experience designed for those who want to spend time outdoors while contributing to the care of the Urban Farm — no conversation required.

Bring your favorite podcast, audiobook, or playlist, and settle into simple, repetitive tasks like watering, weeding, and general plant care. It’s a chance to slow down, be present, and enjoy the rhythm of the garden.

Whether you’re looking for a moment of calm in your week or a different way to give back, this space is here for you
