Yes. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old to work on the farm, and those under 18 must have permission from a parent or guardian. We encourage families to get involved—there may be light tasks suitable for younger children during community events.

Wear comfortable, modest clothing you don’t mind getting dirty, closed-toe shoes or boots, and a hat for sun protection. We recommend bringing a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and garden gloves if you have them.

Taino Seeds will discuss farm tasks to ensure that you find a place that suits you.
