GET INVOLVED!
Volunteers lend their time and energy to support Farmers Rising in many ways! Harvest produce at our Urban Farm in Rockford, tend the gardens at our education campus in Caledonia, or assist with CRAFT Field Days and learn alongside local farmers. Our Volunteer Board of Directors is a great way to make a lasting impact with your skills and expertise to help guide the mission of Farmers Rising.
