Frequently asked questions

Will we work in the rain?

Yes! Break out your raincoat and rain boots because we'll be picking, rain or shine.

Do I need gardening experience?

No! We welcome people with all levels of experience in the garden. We're happy to show you what to do.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes! You can bring kids of any age, as long as you work with them.

What should I bring?

Please bring a water bottle. We also recommend sunscreen and any snacks you might want while you're here. We have spare work gloves, but if you have a pair you like that fits you, you should bring them.

What should I wear?

Wear clothes that can get dirty and allow you to feel comfortable in the weather of the day. For example, you might want a jacket.

Is there a bathroom? A place to eat?

Yes! THEARC Farm is located beside several buildings open to the public that have clean restrooms, a water fountain, and a cafe where you can purchase food and drinks.
