This semester Texas Spirits teamed up with the UT Micro Farm for a new weekly opportunity for our members to give back to the campus community! As 4 out of 6 of our weekly volunteer opportunities deal with processed and packaged food, working with the Micro Farm allows our members a new lens in which to view food. By volunteering on the University of Texas' first on-campus sustainable farm which proudly boasts organic methods, Spirits have the chance to get their hands dirty and gain a better understanding of where our food comes from and what goes into growing various types of produce. Furthermore, the UT Micro Farm upholds our pillar of service by donating a portion of their yield to a local neighborhood food shelter!

The UT Micro Farm holds on campus farm stands, selling seasonal organic produce, every Friday in West Mall from 10:50-2:50pm. Pro tip: they are currently only accepting cash.
If you would like to volunteer alongside Texas Spirits, we'll be on-site sporting our PR shirts every Monday from 5-8pm! CIWY
