Are you interested in opportunities to volunteer at the Farm? We are currently in the process of moving to a new volunteer registration program through Miami called ComMUnity Connect. This platform hosts a wide array of community organizations with volunteer/engagement opportunities which you can manage through an individual profile. We have not fully launched volunteer sign ups for engagement opportunities on the Farm for the Fall. We should be fully up and running on ComMUnity Connect in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, you can sign up and create a profile on ComMUnity Connect, and look for any available volunteer opportunities that interest you. Here is the link to the ComMUnity Connect sign up page: ComMUnity Connect

This week is an important milestone for the farm. The farm is now fully staffed with Abby, our food studies co-major, Kinzie, graduate student working in sustainability, Ross Olson, from the Oxford Farmers Market and the Oxford food pantry.
