Our community food garden is planted, maintained, and harvested by volunteers, under the direction of the community plot coordinator. YCG raises about 3000-4000 pounds of organic vegetables each year. We donate all our produce for people in need in our community, including Yarmouth Community Food Pantry, and three senior housing communities.
We always need and enthusiastically welcome volunteers. If you’d like to dig in and join us, we’d love to have you. Volunteers are needed for prepping, planting, tending, weeding, watering and harvesting in the community plot and children’s garden throughout the season. Everyone is welcome. No gardening experience is needed.
Please email or call: Denise Compton or Wendy Barmore if you would like to volunteer or have any questions or concerns.
Volunteering opportunities:
- We appreciate any help from 8 AM-noon on our Tuesday, and Saturday morning work-days. We harvest and prepare produce for delivery, along with plot maintenance, weeding, and various other chores in the community food garden and children’s garden.
- In July and August, we need volunteers to help at Garden Explorers’ Camp. Please reach out to Callie McMaster if you are interested.
- We welcome volunteers to help with our annual fundraiser, our Harvest Dinner and auction in October.
- Guest lecturing on garden-related topics is welcome.
- Produce donations are always welcome on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, if you have extra from your home garden.
