Grown Ups Grow
Would you like to learn the basics of organic gardening? We've got just the thing - our Grown Ups Grow volunteer program at Wooden Hill Farms! What better way to learn than to do!? Volunteers will be able to gain valuable hands-on gardening experience on site at Wooden Hill Farms of Duncannon, just 20 minutes North of Harrisburg. Wooden Hill runs under a CSA model and cultivates over 30 types of vegetables, flowers and herbs, all without the use of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers. Come learn from the experts who studied at Rutgers University's Cook Student Organic Farm.
Volunteers are welcome to come anytime during the week M-F from 9AM - 5PM. Contact us to let us know when and if you are interested. Volunteers can focus on a specific farm task (i.e. weeding or cultivation, planting or harvesting) or help out with many different types of farm tasks. This means that you guys will be learning what you want to learn. Come see how easy and exciting it is to have your own garden! The Wooden Hill Farmers can teach you all the fundamentals - from companion planting to soil composition to natural pest deterrents. Instead of a structured hour-long lecture, the Wooden Hill Farmers feel that the best way to learn about organic gardening is to jump right in. We can garden together, building a stronger community and can answer any and all of your specific questions based on your experience level (and gain incredible help!). Many thanks in advance for your interest in this program!
Grown-Ups Grow volunteer program is led by Marley Skinner, Charlton Herczegh and Stefanie Zaitz. Please e-mail us if you are interested!
