Description

Help Arcadia farm in Alexandria, Va., grow & harvest gorgeous vegetables and fruits on our four-acre production farm. You'll learn from the best, work hard, and appreciate green beans like you never have before (you have to squat to pick them; it's a whole thing).

Think you want to be a farmer? Start here.

Want to get functionally fit? This is it.

Tired of sitting in your home office all day? We gotchoo.

You should be in good physical shape and able to lift 40 lbs, and work in...suboptimal conditions (hey, it gets really hot). Volunteer once, once a week, once a month, or every day! Your home vegetable garden will never be the same.

Pick a shift and show up ready to work at 9 am, on time(you don't have to stay the full four hours, but you have to leave at 1!) . Wear closed-toe shoes -- the sturdier the better to protect your feet from hoes! -- a sun hat, and clothes that protect you from the elements and insects: pants, long sleeves. There are bees on site, so if you are allergic, be prepared.

Volunteers who show up consistency and build their skills will be invited to food safety training so they can help with the harvest, and will have priority for scheduling. We're building a team, and we want you on it!

Arcadia follows current public health guidance with regard to masking and social distancing.
