The Farms at Trinity Health, both the Ann Arbor and Oakland campuses, are great places to learn more about sustainable farming, practice healthy eating, and giving back to your community. Our goal is to cultivate a volunteer group who become “experts” in our practices so they may take leadership roles in our growing spaces. We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and abilities, and ask that volunteers be ages 15 and up. We welcome ongoing as well as one-time and group volunteers. On-going volunteers are asked to select one to two shifts that they can attend regularly through the growing season. We welcome large corporate groups on a case-by-case basis, please reach out to schedule opportunities.
