BECOME A DRFH BOARD MEMBER...

DRFH is led by an engaged group of local residents, farmers, business owners and healthcare providers. Our volunteer board is seeking new members for a two-year term. If you live or work in West Carleton and care about healthy and local food and want to work with us to make these foods more easily and affordably available to others in West Carleton while also supporting our local farmers, please consider this opportunity. The commitment is for one board meeting a month in Carp plus joining one sub-committee or helping on specific activities for a total of 5-10 hours/month. Learn more: board@deeprootsfoodhub.ca​.

VOLUNTEER...

Volunteer help is always welcome at the Root Cellar, on our planting plot and at ExerFarm.  We utilize regenerative farming techniques so come out and plant a row (or 10) and learn where YOUR food comes from!  


Deep Roots Food Hub is seeking ongoing administrative volunteers with skills and experience in: 
  • 1. Grant seeking and writing proposals, 
  • 2. Fundraising and
  • 3. Communications (including Social media and Stakeholder Relations).
