Join the farm team for a community farm day on Friday, July 24th, from 9 AM – 1PM, to harvest garlic and enjoy a potluck lunch together. This event is open to all, so give us a call at 514-284-9335 to sign up for this shift–or, sign up to become a Roulant volunteer!
Garlic will also be harvested and processed during volunteer shifts on July 29th and 31st. There will also be lots more to do on the farm, so call anytime to sign up for farm volunteer shifts on Wednesdays and Fridays.
How to get to the farm
Seats for volunteers are available in the Roulant shuttle, and volunteers can sign up to carpool or to take other volunteers in their own car. Please note that the Roulant shuttle leaves from Santropol Roulant at 7:00 AM sharp.
Driving? The drive from the Roulant’s downtown location takes 35 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. Input 269 Chemin Senneville into your GPS.
