WLT offers twice-monthly volunteer gatherings from April through October. Volunteer dates this year are as follows: Tuesdays, May 12 and 26, June 9 and 23, July 14 and 28, Aug. 11 and 25, Sept. 8 and 22, Oct. 13 and 27. 

As one of Food Bank for Westchester’s five Food Growing Program farm sites, Westchester Land Trust’s half-acre Sugar Hill Farm headquarters supplies much-needed fresh produce to area food pantries and soup kitchens.

Last year, 12,667 pounds of vegetables (the equivalent of 53,408 servings) were harvested from among the food bank’s partner sites – the highest yields since the program was started.

Sign up to learn about sustainable agriculture and make a tangible impact on hunger in the community.
