The East 40 Gardens
The East 40 gardens serve a variety of purposes, with an emphasis on:
- Practicing environmental stewardship through natural growing practices
- Providing learning opportunities for the NCC community in food education
- Learning about the process of food production from planting to consumption
- Getting to know your neighbors through cooperation
During the fall and spring, volunteers of all ages interested in helping with chores around our site are invited to come to the East 40 to work. Community service hours are available for those who want them. For spring, volunteers can work from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Thursdays, and from 11:30 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Fridays. Watch our Instagram and Facebook for updates on our activities.
We offer community garden plots at no cost to participants; these are obligated for the 2024 growing season.
