Description

Located in the agriculturally-historic Chester, NY, Gilded Farms operates on two acres of muck dirt to produce a wide variety of crops. Join us! We are looking for regular volunteers that are able and willing to learn and give us a hand with a variety of farm tasks. As well as revitalizing the agricultural history of this area, our goals are to change how humans think about the food we eat, and how we take care of the environment we live in. Through our markets, partnerships, and collaborations, we play a community role in simplifying nutritional eating and natural living, while keeping up with modern lifestyle trends, such as convenience and simplicity. We strive to grow seasonal produce at an affordable cost, engage in responsible and accessible partnerships, and support disadvantaged communities in any way we can. Whether it’s providing fresh produce at the farmers market, teaching people how to cook or garden, or simply getting people to change their daily eating habits for the better, it helps create a healthy and energetic population. All are welcome at Gilded Farms and we encourage meaningful conversations with the healing power of food. With respect for the Munsee Lenape people that inhabited this area for thousands of years beforehand, farming and fishing the area, we have deep reverance and great appreciation to have the opportunity to steward this revitalized land. https://gildedfarms.com/ Follow us on Instagram @gildedfarms
