Corporate Volunteering at Perth City Farm

Learn, connect and grow in the urban oasis of Perth City Farm, through our corporate volunteering package.  

Access the benefits of time spent outdoors in nature, physical activity, healthy food, and hands-on teamwork in the most enjoyable volunteering opportunity in Perth. All this plus you will make a meaningful contribution to our non-profit community urban farm, so thousands of other people can enjoy this special space. 

Our program connects beautifully with corporate volunteering and sustainability initiatives, with lots of sustainability education and inspiration woven through the day. 

Leave feeling renewed, invigorated, and with a sense of shared enthusiasm. 

Your Day

For small groups up to 26 participants, our Farmer will guide you through an enjoyable day on the farm which will include:

9:00 – 9:45 Welcome to the Farm: Acknowledgement of Country, Farm Tour and Safety Induction

9:45 – 10:30 Interactive workshop presented by our team.  Topic will depend upon the priorities of the Farm on the day, but some examples include:

• Making compost

• Preparing and planting biointensive market veggie beds

• weeding

10:30 – 11:00 Morning tea provided, featuring vegan and gluten free options

11:00 – 12:30 Volunteer Activities.  These may include:

• mulching

• harvesting fruit and vegetables

• tending to the chickens

12:30 – 1:00 Lunch.  Volunteers can bring their own, lunch or we can recommend local catering options.

1:00 – 2:30 Propagating new plants in our nursery

2:30 Program close. Enjoy an afternoon beverage in the gardens or walk down to our local brewery Bright Tank.

Summer hours

Please note that at PCF, we permit outdoor work until the temperature hits 37.5 degrees! Understandably, this can be quite the struggle for external staff that are accustomed to an airconditioned office environment. For this reason, in the hotter months, we shorten the day a little bit and kick off a bit earlier;

• 8.40am introduction and farm tour (we understand some people might miss this)

• 9.00am safety induction (full team must be present for this)

• 9.15am - 10.45am first volunteering task

• 10.45 - 11.15am morning tea

• 11.15 - 12.45pm second volunteer task

• 12.45pm wrap up/pack up. Team can stay on site for lunch in the gardens or visit the cafe, or head off for a team lunch somewhere nearby with airconditioning

Have a larger group?

We now cater for larger groups up to 45 participants. The activity schedule for groups of 26 people and over vary depending on group size. They may include gardening, cooking, and a fun sustainability challenge with educational activities that help our farm. Your activities additionally unlock donations that will go to a local school wanting to start a garden. Please get in touch with Phoebe at admin@perthcityfarm.org.au with your group size for a more detailed program and options for dates, or if you require an invoice for your booking.
