Convivium Urban Farmstead grows food on over 7,000 square feet of garden space. This food is used in a variety of ways towards supporting Convivium’s mission of "improving life through food." Some of the food is enjoyed in our restaurant or merchandise, where the proceeds go toward supporting our non-profit outreach programs. Some of the food is handed out as ingredients in our weekly free casserole program. And some of the food is picked by the general public as free, accessible, healthy produce.
Volunteer gardeners are an important part of the labor force that brings that food to life, gets it on to people’s plates, and helps fulfill Convivium’s mission.
A Harvest Helper guides the produce from Convivium’s gardens on its journey from the field to the kitchen. By working with the Farm Manager and the Harvest Coordinator, Harvest Helpers carefully harvest, safely transport, (possibly sample!), clean, and weigh the harvest before handing it off to the kitchens. Garden experience is beneficial but not as important as a willingness to learn and a desire to become part of the Convivium mission of improving life through food.
