Farm Volunteers Support OhmS Beginning Farmers Education

OhmS learning farm is 5-acres of veggies, herbs and flowers as a classroom for people in crisis to experience horticulture therapy as post-trauma intervention. Additionally, beginning farmers use our fields to learn how to transition their own operations to regenerative farming.

Connect with farmers learning to grow fresh food, sustain our food bank outreach and amplify our goal to feed our neighbors!

OhmS VITaaMIN (Vocational Intensive Training Advancing Agriculture Ministry) seeks volunteers eager to connect in nature, working the ground, tending the orchard, and working our farmers market event booths to support local food access. Green thumb? Great! Never been in the dirt? Don't worry, we will get you in the trenches at your pace. We encourage all faiths, all backgrounds, all skill levels to participate.

Volunteer Responsibilities May Include:

• Farming daily duties (sowing seeds, transplanting, watering, weeding, havesting)

• Community Outreach (hosting events, market booths, social media content)
