Farm Friday Volunteer Time at UConn Spring Valley Student Farm
Please join us at the farm from 4:00-6:00pm every Friday from September 3 through October 29, 2021. Have fun meeting students from all across campus while engaging in a variety of fall farming activities including harvesting vegetables, planting seeds to grow fresh healthy food for our UConn community and preparing the soil for the winter months. This is a great way to earn community service hours. Remember to dress for outdoor conditions including warm water-repellant footwear.
We provide transportation to and from the farm. The shuttle vans leave and return from Werth Tower on Alumni Drive. Shuttle pickup is at 3:45 and returns on campus at 6:15.
The farm is home to 11 students who grow an amazing variety of vegetables and herbs served at Whitney dining hall and other select locations.
