Volunteers are needed for this year's Small Farm & Food Fest on Saturday, August 1st!

Small Farm & Food Fest is a free, all-ages event, promoting healthy eating and sustainable living with dozens of hands-on activities. These include shopping at pop-up farmers market and vendor booths, canning and milling demonstrations, speakers with educational sessions, food trucks and even wagon rides! Hosted at Carriage Hill MetroPark, this event is a mix of modern-day and historical methods of farming, gardening, homesteading, and food preparation information. More information on the event can be found here. 

Come out to support the farm, learn how to live a little more sustainably, and have some fun as a volunteer with this year's Small Farm & Food Fest. Enjoy a whole day dedicated to eating healthy, small farms, hobby farming, and homesteading skills at your Five Rivers MetroParks!

Volunteer opportunities are varied and available throughout the day. Some require historic clothing and qualifications while others do not. Check the opportunity listing for any requirements and to view available shifts. 

Events like this are successful thanks to the many volunteers who support the children's activities, hands-on demonstrations, informational booths, vendor support, and ambassadors. 

Volunteer opportunities are listed below. See how you can make a difference during this fun event!
