Community in the field

Since 2015, between 40 and 100 people or families have gathered each season in the fields of Dun Gård to grow their own vegetables together with others. Everyone contributes at least 20 hours of volunteer work throughout the season, including planting, weeding, and harvesting.

From May to October, there are usually weekly volunteer sessions, offering plenty of opportunities to find days that fit your schedule. These sessions take place on both weekdays and weekends, depending on the weather and the needs of the fields.

All harvests from the shared fields are divided equally among the members. In most years, this means weekly harvests throughout the season, as well as access to potatoes and storage vegetables during the winter. We cultivate around 35 varieties of vegetables and potatoes.

The farmer and gardener at Dun Gård handle planning, soil preparation, and field supervision between volunteer sessions. They also announce the sessions on the farm’s website and Facebook page.

Everyone who participates receives abundant boxes of delicious, fresh vegetables straight from the field—nothing beats that!

All farming at Dun Gård is done organically.
