The Farm at VYCC (Vermont Youth Conservation Corps) in Richmond is currently seeking volunteers to help get food out to the community. The Farm at VYCC is a nonprofit, educational farm that develops youth leaders through experiences in sustainable agriculture. The majority of the food produced is distributed to Vermonters experiencing food insecurity through the farm’s Health Care Share, an innovative CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) partnership with local hospitals. This fall they are looking for volunteers to work with farm leaders helping maintain the farm as well as to grow, pack and harvest produce.
