Meet us at Raleigh City Farm for a morning of networking and volunteering during June’s 4th Friday Connections!
We will begin the morning with a round-robin of introductions where attendees will have the opportunity to share a bit about themselves and their business with the group.
Afterward, we will take a tour of the farm and then (for those that would like to stay and get their hands dirty) roll up our sleeves for an hour of volunteering.
If you plan to stay and volunteer, please be sure to read the Volunteer FAQs and complete the Volunteer Waiver prior to the event.

About Our Host
Raleigh City Farm is a nonprofit urban farm founded in 2011 on a formerly vacant one-acre lot in downtown Raleigh. We believe in the power of urban farms to create healthier communities and reconnect city dwellers with healthy food production through more frequent encounters with agriculture.
We believe that turning vacant lots into productive, nourishing farmland can create something from nothing – an amenity from an eyesore.
We invite our community to “dig in” and advance our mission by signing up for a workshop, taking a tour, attending a special event, and volunteering to help maintain our farm site.
