Volunteer at The Kitchen House
Get a taste for volunteering at The Kitchen House with a morning in the garden, where you’ll help our team plant, prune, mulch, and more. We’ll share a garden-fresh snack and refreshment while learning about how to volunteer at garden-to-kitchen community programs, so you can get a head start on continuing your volunteer journey at The Kitchen House. Go home with a little garden harvest and recipe, and bring seeds or cuttings for a plant swap!
Know Before You Go: Come dressed in your gardening best (close-toed shoes, comfy athletic wear, and protection from the summer sun!) and bring your reusable water bottle. Bring seeds, plant starts, or plant cuttings to participate in a plant swap !
Meet Your Garden Lead, Blake Herndon
Blake graduated from Le Cordon Bleu London in 2024 while working for a biodynamic market garden operated by Farmacy London. He learned the value of a home-cooked farm-fresh meal by shelling peas and shucking corn in North Florida with his grandparents, and has been recreating the comfort of their kitchen ever since. Blake’s mission is to root the Southern comfort food of his childhood in principles of nutrition, regenerative provenance, and well-being. He works closely with Everoak Farm’s Mike Garcia to plan the development of The Kitchen House’s culinary garden.
