For first-time harvest volunteers to get trained to join our team in harvesting and processing a variety of crops. This onboarding is available to first-time harvest volunteers! We will prepare you to identify current crops in season, work while following food safety protocols, and learn how to harvest and process what's coming in at the farm. This prerequisite can also be supplemented by attending a Harvest and Post-Harvest Handling Workshop. Once you have completed one of the aforementioned programs, feel free to sign up for regular Harvest Volunteer Hours! ***ARRIVAL*** All volunteers must sign our Liability, Theft, and Photo release waiver at least once per season: LINK Please plan to arrive ten minutes early to check in at the Welcome Table visible from the entrance before heading onto the farm to join the tour. A UGC representative will greet you at the Welcome Table.
