Inspired by Downtown Raleigh’s First Friday, our First Saturday Series invites you to start your month with purpose and connection. From May through October, we open our site on the first Saturday morning of each month to welcome visitors for a joyful mix of volunteering, learning, and community building.

You can sign up for hands-on activities like volunteer workdays, farm tours, workshops, and our whimsical weed walks. Or simply stroll the grounds, enjoy the season’s beauty, and drop in to shop our Pay-What-You-Can Farmstand that will pop up when the harvest is abundant & available; check our Instagram for up-to-date information.

Everyone is welcome—and there’s always something growing on!

Activities
