Ishpeming, MI – Partridge Creek Farm (PCF) is calling on their community to join them at the Ishpeming Middle School Garden located at 402 Cleveland Ave Ishpeming MI on Saturday June 20th,10AM-4PM, to roll up their sleeves and join a volunteer day. No registration is required, and volunteers are welcome to come and go as needed throughout the volunteer day.
All ages are welcome to join this volunteer event, PCF asks that volunteers under 16 years of age be accompanied by an adult. Be sure to dress for the weather, bring a pair of work gloves, sunscreen, and a water bottle. Partridge Creek Farm will provide snacks and water. More information about this volunteer opportunity can be found at https://partridgecreekfarm.org/events/middle-school-garden-volunteer-day-2026.
During the volunteer day, participants will take part in a range of hands-on projects aimed at repairing and upgrading the garden. Activities will include weeding, garden maintenance, and building new Community Grazing Garden Beds which will contain FREE fresh produce for the community. All of these activities will help set the Ishpeming Middle School Farm-to-School Students up for success during the 2026-2027 school year and will support food access in the Ishpeming Community which is a vital part of Partridge Creek Farm’s mission.
The Ishpeming Middle School Garden has served as a vital educational space for over 10 years for over 500 Ishpeming Public School District students. Thanks to the incredible generosity of the local community, PCF raised $8645 during their 2025 Giving Tuesday campaign, which was over their initial $5,000 goal. These funds enabled the purchase of 8 new ADA accessible, USDA approved, Vego brand garden beds that will replace the current free Community Grazing Beds and will support critical repairs and upgrades during the upcoming volunteer day. This volunteer day will benefit Ishpeming Students’ educational experience and opportunities and will increase access to fresh, free, and accessible food for the community.
Partridge Creek Farm looks forward to welcoming volunteers on June 20th. No prior registration is required. To learn more about the event, visit PartridgeCreekFarm.org/events.
