Fresh Roots’ Volunteer Sessions Start Today

The GOODS from Fresh Roots

Vancouver, BC | Are you itching to spend some time outside on a schoolyard farm? We’re here to help! It’s been a little while but we are excited to welcome the return of volunteer sessions on the farm! Join us at the Fresh Roots schoolyard market farm at Vancouver Technical Secondary to help us with a variety of farm tasks including weeding, moving compost, or woodchips which will help us put the farm to bed for the winter! We’ve missed having folks from the community on the farm these past few months.

Join us for one of (or all!) three sessions in October!
