The UT Dallas Eco Hub & Luna Farm is a half-acre micro-farm that grows food for food-insecure Comets. Come help us out! We rely on volunteers like you to assist with the day-to-day maintenance of the farm. Volunteers can be expected to perform basic gardening tasks such as weeding, watering, harvesting, planting, and laying mulch. On some workdays, there will be an educational component on basic gardening topics such as seasonal planting, composting, harvesting, fruit tree care, and more.
Please wear closed-toe shoes and dress for the weather. We work in heat and cold, but will cancel in the case of extreme conditions. It is strongly recommended that you bring a snack and a large, filled water bottle. There is no potable water and there are no bathrooms at the Eco Hub. We also do not service trash so please plan accordingly.
If possible, please wear long pants that go past your ankle, closed-toe shoes that go to your ankle, and long, thick socks. Sunscreen and water are also required, as we do not provide them at the farm!
You do not need any prior experience and there is no orientation to attend a workday. We will review safety at the farm at the beginning of each workday.
Please park on campus and walk to Luna Farm, as there is limited parking at the farm. More information about transportation options can be found on the Luna Farm website linked above.
