Organic Farm Helper

The Senior Nutrition Farm provides an opportunity for people of all ages to stay active through volunteerism. Approximately 28,000 pounds (185,000 servings) of fresh, organic produce was harvested from the Senior Nutrition Farm in the 2021-22 fiscal year. On average, the Farm produces 1,000 pounds of produce in each weekly harvest - all of which is distributed to older adults who otherwise do not have access to fresh produce.
