Volunteer Workdays for Businesses and other groups

Volunteering with a group for a day pitching in at our farms and gardens builds teams, strengthens relationships, makes memories, and makes a difference in your community. It is a great opportunity for any group to get to know each other in a new and fun environment while supporting the local food system in Missoula.

Neighborhood Farms

Overview

Come take an adventure with Garden City Harvest and see the tangible results on the spot. You will help our Orchard Gardens Farm Director, Liam, or our River Road Farm Director, Greg, or our Youth Farm Director, Shane, make nutritious, fresh produce available to everyone, regardless of income. You and your group will unplug, move around outdoors, breathe fresh air, and connect in a different light—all while learning about and contributing to our transformative and empowering work that’s happening in your community.

Important Details:

• Farm work days generally occur between the hours of 8am-5pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from May - September.

• Orchard Gardens has a maximum capacity of 10 volunteers per group session.

• River Road Farm has a maximum capacity of 15 volunteers per group session.

Community Gardens

Overview

Sign up for one or a few workday, each lasting two to three hours. Work depends on the season -- ranging from weeding, turning compost, plot clean up, painting, or just digging in the dirt. By attending one of these workdays you will work alongside the community gardens team and get a sense of each gardens’ unique personality. Get to know your Garden City and learn how community gardening brings hope, happiness, and healthy food to so many in our community. Because our gardens are smaller than the farms, they're a good fit for small groups and a more intimate setting

Important Details:

• Garden workdays are generally between the hours of 8am-5pm Monday - Friday from March - November (weather permitting).

• Community Gardens has a maximum capacity of 20 volunteers split into two groups or 10 for one group session.
