All of our farming and events will take place in Frogtown Park and Farm accessed at 946 Minnehaha Ave. W. Saint Paul, MN 55104. Parking can be limited in the Park's small lot, so carpooling, walking, biking, busing or taking the Greenline is highly recommended.
About field work
Join us in the field and learn a bit about growing your own food! Field work opportunities are best for 14 years and older due to safety. Please contact us ahead of time to find out if we will have anything available for younger aged kids in a particular week. Youth must always have a parent or chaperone on site. We recommend long pants, closed toe shoes, water bottle, and if needed- sunscreen and bug repellent. Be prepared to get dirty! Gloves, tools, and supplies are provided, though you can bring your own (well-labeled) favorites. Farm work tends to happen in all sorts of weather, so come prepared for the expected conditions for that day. We will post on Facebook if threatening weather forces cancellation. Otherwise, just expect that we will be here!
volunteer groups
Do you have a group that wants to volunteer? Mention so in the form below, or call us. We can often accommodate groups at other times for special projects. If you don't see what you are looking for, contact us with your ideas!
Field Experiences
Looking for a team-building volunteer opportunity nearby in St. Paul for your company, school or other group?
Frogtown Farm hosts volunteer groups on a limited basis during the growing season (April through October) for 2-3 hour Field Experiences on weekdays. During a Field Experience, volunteer groups may find themselves preparing and planting beds, building compost piles, tending perennial crops like asparagus, mulching to conserve water and protect plants from disease, weeding, harvesting, and even preparing for community events.
Spending time on our farm offers a unique team-building opportunity for your group. Frogtown Farm also has outdoor meeting and eating spaces that can be made available for groups to facilitate gatherings before or after your Field Experience. Cost for your groups will vary depending on your group size and the amenities you are requesting. General information is provided below, but feel free to call us with further inquiries.
Details
We are offering 2-3 hour field experiences for schools, non-profits, corporations or other groups of up to 40 people. Please contact us to discuss your field day, including the options of food catering, tours, and meeting space. Your field experience and financial contribution support our organic farm production and community programming for Frogtown residents.
We are sometimes able to accommodate non-profit and school groups for no fee due to the generosity of individual donors, community organizations, and other supporters. If you are unable to pay, please let us know when you fill out the form.
Timing
Field experiences are only available in non-winter months (April-October) during the work day.
