Fun: T-shirt stenciling (bring your own shirt); farm tours & vineyard tour; face painting, nature crafts, & scavenger hunt for kids courtesy of BranchSF

Farm tasks: Garlic planting, fruit tree planting & more

Music: Live acoustic music by The Knuckle Knockers

… and Community!

Interested in helping out?
BranchSF will be offering kids activities at the festival, including face painting, mini-pumpkin painting, and a scavenger hunt, and they welcome help from interested volunteers (various time slots available). For more information, contact BranchSF directly at info@branchsf.com.

Dear Farm Friends,

It’s that time of year again: the days are shortening, the rainy season is nearing, we’re bringing in the last of our summer crops of tomatoes and zucchini, and putting cool weather crops in the ground. We’re lucky here in SF to be able to sow, grow, and harvest year round, but this is still a good season to celebrate the hard work we do all year to grow food, habitat, and community.

Harvest is a time of gathering, so please join us for our 9th Annual Alemany Farm Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 19th, from 11am to 5pm!

Bring yourself, friends and family to enjoy activities for people of all ages:

– T-shirt stenciling
– Face painting
– Scavenger hunt & nature crafts for kids
– Garden tasks
– Farm tours & Neighborhood Vineyard tour
– Live acoustic music from Bernal’s own The Knuckle Knockers!

…and Food:
As usual, we’ll have a delicious potluck picnic. We’ll provide BBQ (including veggie options) and a green farm salad.
Please bring a snack, side, beverage, or dessert to share!

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!

In the meantime, you can always join us for these upcoming community work days:
