Farm Events

We don't just grow food, we grow community

The quiet, calm, and beauty of the Farm are all something to be shared, and we want to share it with you. Enjoyment of these tranquil spaces should be a regular part of everyone's life - to nourish your soul, to immerse yourself in nature, and to connect with your community.

Most of our events are free for Farm Members, you'll find details in the newsletter.

Volunteer Days at the Farm

Want to get your hands dirty and see what it's like to work on a small-scale organic farm? Come and volunteer at the Farm! Just come once, or make it a regular addition to your schedule.

Send an email to info@ottawafarmfresh.com letting us know a little bit about yourself, your interest in farming, and we'll get you scheduled!

Note: Field work is very physical and requires a high level of mobility, flexibility, and strength. Let us know if you have any physical limitations when you email so we can plan appropriately.
