Volunteer Tour

All current and prospective volunteers are invited to join a special tour led by Livestock Manager Craig Haney, Managing Director for Organizational Development Erica Helms, and Four Season Farmer Zachary Wolf.

Volunteer Open Hours: Greenhouse*
Mondays and Tuesdays, beginning June 27

Volunteer Open Hours: Vegetable Fields*
Thursdays and Saturdays, beginning June 27
8:00 AM—10:00 AM

Volunteer Open Hours: Terrace Gardens*
Sundays, beginning June 27

Work alongside Stone Barns Center’s farmers Shannon and Siobhan as they care for the herbs, flowers, vegetables and berries growing in the Terrace Gardens. Come by any time, and stay for as long as you would like!

Group Work Days*
Many thanks to those volunteers who helped clear rocks from our Vegetable Fields in March. Your efforts were of great help to the farm staff! We welcome participants to join in two upcoming group work days this summer: Mulching Grapes in the Vineyard (July 11) and Harvesting Potatoes in the Vegetable Fields (date tbd).

Please check this page often for the most up-to-date information about current volunteer opportunities.
