Opportunity Details
Zenger Farm Harvest Day (age 10+) *Impact Week*
We are a nonprofit urban and organic farm that models, promotes and educates about sustainable food systems, environmental stewardship, community development and access to good food for all. We envision a just food system that dismantles the root causes of systemic inequity – racism, colonialism, and other systems of oppression – by fostering lasting connections between people, food, and the environment. We work to build a climate resilient, just food system that dismantles racism in our communities and centers indigenous sovereignty.
Join us for a day of community and healing with the land! Volunteers will receive a guided tour of the farm and a brief orientation on how to harvest and weed the farm fields. Once everyone is oriented, we will break out into groups to harvest vegetables for our main season CSAs. We will also harvest marigolds and make garlands for our Dia de los Muertos celebration.
We have a water bottle refill station on site so we encourage folks to bring bottles to fill. We ask folks to wear close toed shoes and dress for the outdoor weather*. Ie; in hot weather, we recommend wearing hats, sunscreen, and loose-fitting clothing. In the rainy months be sure to dress in layers and preferably water-resistant clothing. If you are allergic to bees, please bring your EpiPen.
