U-Pick Farm Guide & Support Volunteer @ Colonial Farms

Help create memorable experiences for families visiting Powell Gardens' Colonial Farms! As a U-Pick Farm Guide & Support Volunteer, you'll serve as a friendly ambassador, helping guests navigate the farm and enjoy a successful harvest experience.

Volunteers will assist visitors by identifying which fruits, flowers, and produce are ripe and ready for harvest, demonstrating proper picking techniques, and answering basic questions about the U-Pick experience. Depending on interest and qualifications, some volunteers may also have the opportunity to assist with tram transportation to and from the fields.

In addition to guest engagement, volunteers will support general field operations, which may include harvesting berries, deadheading flowers, removing fallen fruit, and helping maintain a welcoming and productive farm environment.
