Work at the farm varies from day to day but is almost consistently outside and physically engaging. Please wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty plus closed-toed shoes. Bring a hat for sun protection and a reusable water bottle.

Weed-n-Feed

Every week during the Fall and Spring semesters, the Farm hosts “Weed-n-Feed,” a student workday. Vans depart from the Kaufman parking lot to transport student volunteers to the farm. After helping with the work at hand, volunteers enjoy freshly made snacks and other locally procured goodies! The farm truly appreciates volunteer help, plus Weed-n-Feed is a great way to learn more about the farm and meet different people!

Weed-n-Feed will continue every Friday throughout the semester. 

Vans depart from the DPS parking lot behind Kaufman Hall (by the cow statue) at 1:00pm and return at 5:00. Please join us!

Students unable to make the Weed-n-Feed workdays or the volunteer hours posted below can contact the Program Coordinator at farm@dickinson.edu to arrange alternative volunteer hours.

Fall 2024 Volunteer Shifts & Transportation Schedule

Please check back for our fall 2024 volunteer schedule. We expect to have this available by the second week of classes. Thanks!

All transportation leaves from the Kaufman parking lot. Please contact (text or call) the point person listed for each volunteering period at least 12 hours ahead of time so they know to look for you and no one gets left behind – thanks!

All about Volunteering at the Farm

The Farm offers many opportunities for interested students and campus organizations to get their hands dirty! Volunteers get to punctuate their week with an afternoon at the farm, working alongside farm staff and breathing in the fresh air.

What does a volunteering job on the farm entail?

This is our favorite question to answer! …Everything. Each and every day is different. Volunteers help with seeding, transplanting, weeding, watering, harvesting, and washing crops. Student volunteers can expect to engage in work that is fun and physically engaging.
