Fees
The Natick Community Organic Farm welcomes a wide range of groups. To guarantee an excellent experience for all Corporate Volunteers, we require a fee to offset the cost of staff planning, preparation and coordination time, tools and materials, and maintenance and support of the project. We ask for a commitment of $500 from each group, this can be something the team raises through fundraising or it can be a contribution from the company.
Requirements
Volunteers should be able to bend, lift, carry heavy-ish items, handle small hand tools, follow multi-step directions, possess a can-do spirit, and maintain a cheerful and positive demeanor on our visitor-friendly, community farm.
Group size is limited to 15 people at this time. You can contact us for more information if you have a larger group.
Other Opportunities
We offer other types of volunteering for Corporate groups including skills based opportunities and tailored days to suit your group, as well as offering a ‘field day’ visit for those just wanting to learn more about our work. Please speak to Nicky Wilson about these opportunities.
