Volunteers help grow our local food community
and make our work possible!
Volunteer With Us
Farmshed is an organization run on volunteers! In order to pull off our annual events and programs, we look to the Central Wisconsin community for their assistance. Our volunteer opportunities range from working in our kitchen, greenhouse, grounds, and our off-site events.
Already volunteered with us? Make sure to log your hours, and then tell us how we did by filling out our volunteer satisfaction survey!
