What's on at The Cape Community Farm

The Cape Community Farm couldn't operate to its full potential without the help of its members and volunteers. It doesn't matter what your special interest might be, there is a volunteering opportunity to match. You might spend some time gathering and preparing a harvest; or weeding and mulching. You might enjoy creating rich compost; or showing groups around the farm. We've got something that will match your skill and ability level. Take a look at the weekly volunteer schedule for times, or contact the farmer for more information.

As a member, you can also attend our monthly working bees which are followed by workshops run by the farmer (we share a pot luck lunch afterwards). You can easily keep up to date with all the news and latest tips to get the most out of your plot.

With all that is on offer - working bees, workshops, social events - The Cape Community Farm has become more than just a place to grow produce. It is a gathering place and a space where friendships of like minded people are formed.
