The SAP hosts drop-in open volunteer hours on Tuesdays from 2 - 4 pm and Fridays from 1 - 4 pm. 

The Sustainable Agriculture Project is located at 4539 Luce St, Jenison, MI, 49428, on the southwest of the Valley campus and the Campus View apartments. Look for the sign out front, the hoop houses, and the garage.

The SAP is walkable (30 mins) and bikeable (5 mins) from the Valley campus. If driving, there is parking is available in front of the garage on Luce Street.

Dress for the weather and wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty. Layers are always a good idea in the cooler months.

When you arrive, you should connect with the farm manager (Isak) or the lead farm crew member either by the garage, in the hoop houses, or in the south field. 

The Sustainable Agriculture Project is a learning space cultivated by the collaboration of students from many disciplines. Prior experiences with small-scale farming is welcome, but not required. If you want more background before coming out to the SAP for the first time, please visit the volunteer page.

Volunteers learn to perform various farm tasks with the guidance of the farm manager and other seasoned volunteers/student leaders. The specific tasks depend on the season, the week, the turnout, and the weather.

Volunteer hours will typically continue as normal, but may move into the hoop houses. However, if there is lightning, the SAP will have to cancel volunteer hours. 

If you visited the SAP as an assignment for a class, or are doing an academic internship at the farm, please fill out the SAP volunteer form and request that your information be sent to your professor.
