Work to Learn for Corporate Groups and Teams

We have a long history of welcoming local corporate and organizational groups for team-building and bonding through our Work to Learn program. Teams from Goldman Sachs Ayco, Deathwish Coffee, and Naval Support Activity Saratoga Springs are just a few of our incredible program partners. 

 

These half-day corporate volunteer experiences contribute to our food sovereignty program, address food insecurity in Saratoga County, and immerse your team in the regenerative world of sustainable agriculture.

 

 What's Included:

  • Guided Farm Activities: Work alongside our experienced farm team in planting, harvesting, or other essential tasks.
  • Healthy Harvest Lunch: Enjoy a delicious boxed lunch filled with farm-fresh goodness.
  • Engaging Educational Sessions: Learn about the farm's mission, regenerative agriculture, and the impact on food security.

Benefits for Your Team:

  • Strengthen team bonds in a unique outdoor setting.
  • Boost morale by making a meaningful contribution to the community.
  • Enhance well-being with the physical and mental benefits of outdoor activities.
