Volunteer East Tennessee

Our mission at Century Harvest Farms Foundation is to end food insecurity and improve the health of rural East Tennessee communities. We believe that all individuals and families deserve access to safe, healthy, and nutritious foods. We seek to change the way rural East Tennessee eats and farms by empowering and engaging with people from all backgrounds, engaging leaders and the public, developing practices in sustainable agriculture, and driving choices that benefit the health of our communities. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds come together on our farms to help plant, cultivate, or harvest in our fields, care for chickens and their eggs, and anything in between! Distribution of produce is facilitated by local food banks as we donate a large portion of our produce for our neighbors in need of fresh, healthy food. It’s hard work, but we make it simple enough that everyone can make an impact regardless of age or experience! Children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult. You will meet great people engaged in rewarding work that has amazing end results. Come join the fun! CHFF can accommodate volunteer groups of any size! If you have a group of 5 or more, please visit centuryharvest.org/volunteer and complete the 'Group Volunteer Inquiry' found on the page. If you have any other questions regarding volunteering with us, please contact our Volunteer Manager, Will Groos, at will@centuryharvest.com. All volunteers for Century Harvest Farms Foundation will check-in and log their volunteer hours through Volunteer East TN's Volunteer Portal. More information regarding opportunities will be sent in a confirmation email when you sign up to volunteer!
