Terra Firma Farm has a mission to "teach children to grow through growing, to care by caring for, and to nurture by nurturing."
The farm is located in southeastern Connecticut and offers many opportunities for campers over the summer and birthday celebrations, plus community supported agriculture, known as CSA.
Even children are welcome to help out with adult supervision. Volunteers from schools, businesses, religious congregations and other organizations may help with tasks or a company can host a group volunteer day. For more information e-mail brianne@terrafirmafarm.
Regular volunteer hours are the first Saturday and Sunday of the month (through November) from 9 a.m. to noon. Other hours can be arranged.
Work can range from planting, transplanting, weeding or harvesting or caring for livestock, including barn work, socialization, daily chores and feeding.
Terra Firma Farm is located at 330 Al Harvey Rd., Stonington, Connecticut, and is open Monday through Saturday for visits and self-guided tours, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; closed on Sunday. Call (860) 535-8171 for information.
