Service Garden Highlights and Volunteer Opportunities
Service Garden Highlights
4,931 lbs of fresh produce
have been donated this year!
Join us in the Service Garden this week!
Hi Service Guard-ners, 

Wow, what a year! We helped gift over 700 bags of fresh produce to our local food pantries! 

As the season winds down we have one more week of volunteer shifts to help with shutting down the garden for the season. 

So, bring your warm layers, hat, gloves, water, and any questions you have.

Come help in the garden for an hour or a day, without you, this would not have been possible! We are excited for next year...
Please help us plan by signing up. 
Monday 8 am - 12pm
Friday 9 am - 3 pm
Please include your phone number in the sign-up, if there is bad weather, there is always greenhouse work to be done. We will text with any last-minute changes.

Falmouth Service Center welcomes volunteers if you want to continue volunteering through the winter.

Farmer Tip: Let's double the donation next year, check out our spruced-up website for how to help HERE. 
Gratitude to our team, volunteers, and community partnerships that make the Service Garden possible!
Together we are growing a better future!

What is the Service Garden?
The Service Garden is a quarter-acre farm field on the historic Tony Andrews Farm owned by the town of Falmouth.  It is Sub-Leased by the generous Geoff Andrews and run by the Non-Profit Farming Falmouth, Inc. The farm field is tended by Farming Falmouth's farm manager and community volunteers. All the food grown is being donated to the Falmouth Service Center and the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center. We exceeded last year's goal and donated over 1,400 lbs of fresh food, so this year we have increased our fields and goals! The garden is a learning classroom focused on organic no-till regenerative agriculture practices.

Service Garden History

  • In 2023 we started a  Service Garden on the Tony Andrews Farm. In our first year, on a 1/16th acre test plot, we grew over 1400 lbs of produce. All the food was donated to the Falmouth Service Center in 2023.

  • In 2024 we quadrupled the size of the garden and expanded our donations to include both the Falmouth Service Center and the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center. We are reaching our donation goal of 5,000 lbs with the help of our dedicated volunteers.

  • 2025 plans to keep expanding!
