Fall Fest Baton Rouge

Learn about the Baton Roots Apprenticeship program, how it works, and how to get involved in hands-on farm training and education.

Volunteers will help build and maintain the Johnson-Su bioreactor, a composting system that creates rich, living soil to support healthy crops.

Volunteers will spread mulch around crops, plant beds, walkways, and trees to protect soil, retain moisture, and keep the farm healthy.

Volunteers will help plant seasonal crops that will grow through the cooler months and keep the farm producing fresh food into fall and winter.

Join us in growing our food forest by planting fruit trees and perennial plants that will provide fresh food for years to come.
