Recirculating Farms is a 501c3 non-profit collaboration of farmers, educators, and activists committed to building an equitable food system from farm to fork. We run ecologically and socially responsible programs that grow local, affordable food through innovative, eco-efficient methods, based on historic practices. Through training, outreach and advocacy, we advance sustainable farming and combat food insecurity, in diverse communities, to foster physical, mental, and financial wellness.

What you do

Service learning students will help maintain our garden and farm beds and compost systems while keeping the space clean, productive, and welcoming.

What you learn
