Events & Workshops
Your Support Matters. By supporting Four Seasons City Farm, you will also be supporting critical work and projects in our urban Columbus communities. Four Seasons City Farm is also actively engaged in working on the related problems of food security, poor diets, obesity and urban blight. We also teach our neighborhood residents - especially children - how to plant and grow their own food.
Celebrating Agriculture - Volunteer Opportunity

Who: Columbus City Schools (CCS) students in Grades K-12 participating in the CCS Farm to School program. Students from various schools will be transported via bus throughout the day. We anticipate about 500 students each day. Over 1,000 students total over the 2 days.
We are reaching out to community agriculture organizations such as yours to see if you would like to participate in this event and share your expertise with our students.
Many students in urban areas like Columbus have limited exposure to agriculture, and this event aims to bridge that gap by showcasing how agriculture influences their daily lives. We are inviting community partners like you to host interactive table activities that highlight a specific aspect of agriculture. The event will provide an opportunity for about 600-900 CCS students to rotate through various stations, including:
-
Farm tours (gardens and greenhouse)
-
Interaction with farm animals
-
Food tastings
-
Hands-on planting opportunities
-
Engaging table activities from community partners
