Youth Days at Mother Earth Farm

Saturday, June 25th, Youths age 6-15 are invited to participate in a half-day experience to learn about day-to-day activities on a farm!

Saturday, June 25th, Take an Edible Tour and Volunteer at an Organic Farm! Emergency Food Network’s Mother Earth Farm is an 8-acre organic farm providing fresh fruit, veggies, and honey to Pierce County food banks and meal sites. Food harvested at the farm often arrives at emergency feeding sites within hours of harvest. Youths age 6-15 are invited to participate in a half-day outdoor classroom experience. Learn about the day-to-day activities that take place at the farm and the importance of preserving the Puyallup Valley’s pristine farmland. Youths will also have the opportunity to be a volunteer at the farm and help make a difference to food-insecure residents in our community.
