Oakland Spartans Volunteer at Toll Gate Farms

Project Description

Come join the Oakland Spartan family as we volunteer doing service work at Tollgate Farm on July 25th, 2026 from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.  The group will be volunteering on the farm working on the helping them get projects completed or in the gardens.  No experience is needed.  Just come and have fun, meet other Spartans is the area. 

You are welcome to explore Tollgate Farm and see the many animals that reside on the property. MSU Tollgate has many farm animals on the site.  MSU Tollgate is an oasis of green in the ever more urbanized environment of southeast Michigan. Of the 160 acres that constitute the MSU Tollgate Education Center, 70 acres are fields and pastures.  The farm has a beautiful pond, the forest (which they make Maple Syrup at) and the gardens will be blooming soon.  Help make this farm a beautiful MSU site.

MSU Tollgate is located at 28115 Meadowbrook Road between 12 and 13 Mile Road in Novi. If arriving from 12 Mile Road - the public should use the second driveway past the farmhouse to the parking lot.  

Please dress for the weather and wear clothing that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty.
