Volunteer Appreciation

Thank you to all our incredible volunteers who helped make the Small Farm & Food Fest at Carriage Hill MetroPark a wonderful success! Each year this event gets bigger and better, and this year we saw over 4,000 people come and enjoy this annual event. Your hard work contributed significantly by guiding the community through hands-on activities and historical farm demonstrations. Your enthusiasm for teaching sustainable living, supporting our waste-free initiative, and offering wagon rides created a memorable experience for everyone. You played an integral role in helping our community attend speaker sessions, enjoy family games, and support local vendors. Because of your generosity and energy, everyone who came to Carriage Hill gained valuable skills and left feeling inspired to incorporate sustainability into their lives. Thank you for sharing your time and passion with us and the community!
