2017 MLK Day of Service a huge Community Success!

The 5th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of National Service at Bounty Community Farm was an incredible success for our community! The day brought together around 40 people, gathering community members who were ready to act for positive social change and included activities such as mulching, pruning, weeding, as well as performing farm maintenance together in community. Please see our  Blog Post  and  Photo Album  about the day!

Announcing Saturday Service Days at Bounty Farm!
Second Saturdays of every month, F amily Friendly
Next Service Day, February 11th, 10am-1pm

In the same spirit of community service that brought us together on MLK Day, we invite you to our next Saturday Service Day on  February 11, 10am-1pm. We will be mulching, seeding in the greenhouse, and weeding, all in effort to grow food that is affordable and accessible to EVERYONE in our community!

This day will kick off both our:

1. Second Saturday of the month Service Day series, where we start with a New Volunteer Orientation at 10am and everyone joins on a large farm project. We'll come together to share lunch and the Bounty Farm will provide herb tea.

2. Weekly  Saturday volunteer opportunities, 10am-1pm. Tasks will vary throughout the season. Sign-up for weekly farm emails through our website.

We hope to see you out there. Learn more on our Facebook Event Page about the Service Day at the Farm series.
