Dear Farm Friends,
It’s time to celebrate another year of productivity and community at Alemany Farm. Since we gathered last October, we’ve harvested over 10,000 pounds of produce, all of which went—for free—to volunteers, neighborhood residents, or weekly donations to the Free Farmstand! Not to mention the work we’ve continued to do stewarding our native plant areas, pond habitat, and herb garden. And it’s all been done by volunteers like you!
So please come join us for our 10th ANNUAL Alemany Farm Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 25th, from 11am to 5pm!
Bring yourself, friends and family to enjoy activities for people of all ages:
– Face painting
– Garden tasks (we’ll be planting garlic for next summer’s harvest!)
– Farm tours
– Solar cooking demo
– Live acoustic music from KC and the Moonshine Band!
…and of course, FOOD:
As usual, we’ll have a delicious potluck picnic. We’ll provide sustainably raised roasted pig, BBQ (including veggie options), beans, greens, and rice…and a tossed farm salad.
Please bring a snack, side, beverage, or dessert to share!
(And your own plate and utensils, if possible, to help reduce waste.)
And as usual…it’s free! So please come out to the farm and share community with old friends and new friends. We hope to see you there!

Harvest Festival is co-sponsored by Friends of Alemany Farm and Alemany Residents Council. Friends of Alemany Farm is grateful for the support of our fiscal sponsor, SF Parks Alliance. Big thanks to BiRite Market and Zynga for their generous support for this event!
