October 15, 2022 - Volunteer at Our New Way Garden

Come mingle with other Harvard families while gardening!  Your assistance will help to increase community access to healthy produce.


Please join us on Saturday October 15, 2022 for a return of the family-fun community service event with Our New Way Garden (ONWG), a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization headquartered in Purchase, New York.  Please note the date change from October 1 due to expected rain.  ONWG grows produce at several garden sites in Westchester County without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers and it donates the majority of its organic harvest to local food pantries, soup kitchens and other Westchester community sites in order to increase community access to healthy organic produce.  ONWG seeks to educate the public about naturally and locally grown food and it sells "farm shares" in its CSA (Community-Supported Agriculture) program, where members of the public receive fresh, locally-grown vegetables and fruits through a subscription-based program during the summer months while supporting ONWG's efforts to increase underserved community access to healthy produce.
