We're inviting you to join in on our Community Compost program "Learn & Volunteer" Saturdays starting in May and running twice a month through November 2nd (see specific dates above).
Arrive at 10am to check-in and drop off your kitchen scraps (optional). Then learn hands-on from Darion Crawford (DC), Community Compost Coordinator, as you volunteer in UGC's industry-leading urban ag composting systems. Each week will include a theme/topic in composting. Volunteering ends at 12pm.
If you'd like to stay for our general farm Afternoon Tour & Volunteer hours (Saturdays from 1-4pm), you must also RSVP here
