Wine+Weeds is a weekly gathering of Farm Friends who help steward our bountiful 1.2-acre site. Join us from 6-7pm every Wednesday (weather permitting) to take care of our site, learn about plants and regenerative agriculture, make new friends, and enjoy a splash of wine or alcohol free beverage donated by our neighbors at Wine Authorities. Please be sure to sign up ahead of time to reserve your spot! Build in time to visit our "Pay-What-You-Can Farmstand" that is open from 4-7pm during April-October.
Wednesday Wine + Weeds is a weekly volunteer gathering where community members help maintain a one-acre urban farm in downtown Raleigh. Participants spend an hour weeding and caring for the crops while learning about sustainable agriculture from the farm staff. If you plan to go, register online in advance to secure your spot. This activity is best suited for teenagers and adults who can handle garden tools safely. Wine Authorities provides a complimentary glass of wine or a non-alcoholic drink for volunteers. Wear closed-toe shoes, bring gardening gloves if you have them, and arrive early to browse the farmstand, which runs from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This event makes a great mid-week outing because it combines outdoor physical activity with a relaxed social atmosphere. It offers a productive way to transition from the workday to the evening while supporting local food systems.
