Want to play in the dirt? We need volunteers to come and help us in our garden, from weeding, mulching to making signs and bean poles. Come out for one of our set dates, or let us know if you want to come out on regular basis at another time. We can also schedule specific dates if you have a group who wants to volunteer.

Market:
Market Helper
Want to help the Wyckoff Farmers Market? We would love some help during out market, tracking attendance passing out flyers in our neighborhood and general help with set up and taking down. Our market runs every Sunday from 1-4 pm, with clean up usually taking till about 4:30. You could come early and help us set up the market and pass out flyers, and hang out and have fun with us during the market. Our market is very chill, always with people hanging around, kids playing in the park and of course snacking on fresh produce.
