The Rhinelander Area Food Pantry Garden (RAFPG) operates seasonally and grows up to 5,000 pounds of fresh, nutritious produce for RAFP each year.
RAFPG hosts the farmer's market table. This is a seasonal, free market open to RAFP customers that provides fresh, organic, and local produce. In addition, RAFPG offers plant starts to all customers as available.
Volunteers are always appreciated to continue this valuable effort. No experience necessary!
Volunteer Opportunities include:
- Till and plant (spring)
- Weed the garden
- Harvest produce
- Wash, package, and transport produce to the pantry
- Host the RAFPG Farmer's Market table during Pantry hours
