In addition to programs, Red Gate Farm offers volunteer opportunities and other service learning experiences. Children and adults learn by doing as they contribute to the hard work of keeping a farm alive.
Volunteers typically commit to 2 hours per week or event, and all volunteers must be at least 14 years of age or accompanied by an adult. If you are interested in becoming part of our volunteer family, contact Jennifer Bennett in the office at (413) 625-9503 or email Jennifer@redgatefarm.org
