Field and Fork Harvest Volunteers
We are seeking volunteers for the Field and Fork Farm and Gardens Program to assist with harvesting produce for the pantry at UF and local area soup kitchens. Each week Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30am-12:00pm we harvest at the Student Gardens (by the Bat Houses on Museum Drive) and need help! No experience is necessary, and in addition to the satisfaction of helping those in need, you can also take home a share of fresh veggies from the garden! If you are interested, please sign up by following the link here or email Claudie Babineaux - cbabineaux@ufl.edu - for more information.
