Volunteer Opportunities

  • 9/2 Farm Friday at Spring Valley Student Farm

    Please join us at the farm from 4:00-6:00pm every Friday from September 2 through October 28, 2022. 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.

    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. For more information about the farm visit our website at http://dining.uconn.edu/spring-valley-farm/. Spring Valley Student Farm is a collaboration with Dining Services, Residential Life, and EcoHouse Learning Community.

    You can find us at 104 Spring Manor Road, Mansfield, CT, 06268 just off Route 32. Please bike, carpool with a friend, or take our Farm Friday shuttle from the loading zone outside Werth Residence Tower at 3:45pm. For more information or detailed directions please contact Jessica.larkin-wells@uconn.edu or call 203-215-9345. You can also follow us on Instagram @springvalleystudentfarm!
