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

Have you ever wanted to learn how to grow your own food but weren’t sure where to start?

Grow With Us Wednesdays is a slower-paced, hands-on volunteer experience designed to help you build confidence in the garden while supporting our work at the Urban Farm.

Unlike a traditional volunteer shift, these sessions create space for learning along the way. You’ll work alongside our farm team, ask questions in real time, and gain practical skills you can take home with you.

Whether you’re brand new to gardening or looking to deepen your knowledge, this is a welcoming place to start.

What to Expect Hands-on experience with planting, harvesting, and maintaining crops Real-time guidance from our farm team Opportunities to ask questions and learn as you go A relaxed, supportive environment — no prior experience neededWho Can Participate Open to individuals and small groups All experience levels welcome

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.

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.

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!
