Visit and Volunteer

 

Volunteer at the Yale Farm

Open workdays on the Yale Farm have begun! Everyone is welcome.

 

This 2009–10 academic year, the Farm is open to volunteers on Sundays, Tuesdays, 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.

 

We offer pizza on Friday afternoons following the workday as a way of thanking our volunteers. We regret that we cannot rent the Farm's facilities for parties or other events.

 

Community Workdays

During the academic year, community members are welcome to attend regular workdays, held on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

 

Group/School Tours of the Yale Farm

The Yale Farm is open for tours on Tuesday and Friday mornings from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm. If you'd like to reserve a tour for your class or group, please fill out this form and email it to 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.
