Volunteer with Us

We love our volunteers!

Our volunteers bring a wide range of talents to the Farm. Some help us with our farm animals. Others enhance the beauty of our gardens and help us grow produce for the East Bay Food Pantry. Property and building maintenance, administrative support, event management … the opportunities abound.
