Visit and Volunteer

 

Volunteer at the Yale Farm

During the winter season, the Farm is open to volunteers on Sundays and Fridays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. No gardening experience is necessary: just bring a water bottle and wear weather- and work-appropriate clothing. If you are a group of more than five people, please give us a week's notice of your planned visit: call us at 203.432.2084 or email sustainablefoodproject@yale.edu.

When the weather warms up this spring, we'll fire up our pizza oven again for Friday workdays. We regret that we cannot rent the Farm's facilities for parties or other events.

Community Workdays

Community members are welcome to attend regular workdays, held on Sundays and Fridays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

Group/School Tours of the Yale Farm

Tours of the Yale Farm will begin after spring break, beginning the week of March 22. For more information, please contact Jacqueline Lewin at jacqueline.lewin@yale.edu.

Getting to the Farm

The Yale Farm is about a fifteen-minute walk from central campus: walk up College Street, and continue north as it crosses Grove to become Prospect Street. From Prospect Street, turn right on Edwards just past Science Hill. The Farm will be on your left, just across from 340 Edwards Street. The Blue and Green Line Shuttles stop near the farm at Chemistry/225 Prospect. If you are driving, parking is available at the Leitner Observatory, at 355 Prospect Street.
