2026 Dingley Farm Volunteering Experience - Melbourne
Dig in at Dingley
Dingley Farm
Under the guidance of our garden supervisor, each group will be engaged in a range of gardening tasks directly related to growing vegetables and herbs to cook into meals for people in need. Tasks may include weeding, mulching, planting, fertilizing, harvesting, propagation, and pest management. Everything grown and harvested in the garden is taken to our kitchen to be cooked into nutritious meals.

FAQs
- Can I leave early?
We ask that all volunteers stay for the whole sessions, as our production is relying on your help. We do understand that sometimes things can be out of your control, if one or two people need to leave the session early, that is ok. Please just let us know as soon as you can.
- Can I bring my child?
It's so lovely that people want to share this experience of doing meaningful work with their children, unfortunately, we are only able to accommodate volunteers over the age of 18 in these sessions.
We do have a wonderful schools program though which run in the mornings during term time. If your child's school isn't already involved, we'd love for you to let them know we are ready to welcome them into the kitchen. They can email schools@fareshare.net.au - Who is SecondBite?
SecondBite is a charity that merged in 2024 with FareShare so we are now one organisation. We distribute products from our Secondbbite warehouses as well as meals from our FareShare kitchens to those doing it tough.
- Cancellation Policy
Changing or Cancelling Your Shift
We know plans can change, and we’ll always do our best to help:
If it’s more than 30 days before your shift, you’ll get a full refund.
If it’s 14–30 days out, we’ll refund 50%.
If it’s less than 14 days, we’re unable to offer a refund or reschedule, as we’ve already started preparing for your session.
Thanks so much for your understanding—we really appreciate it!
