Hey, it’s JB!
This week, I present to you a list of Detroit farms to volunteer at!
Why volunteer at a farm? It’s fun, gets you outside, and it helps out your local farmer. Depending on the farm, volunteering might be anything from weeding to building a garden bed to harvesting.
Many farms can accommodate physical restrictions as well, creating a fun activity space for everyone, no matter ability. My tips: Take sunscreen, a hat, water, and wear boots or closed toed shoes. It also doesn’t hurt to bring work gloves if you have them!
Dig In,
