Dear Farm Friends,
First things first: Save the date—Saturday, October 25th—for Alemany Farm’s 10th Annual Harvest Festival. More details to come…
***
Are you a regular volunteer at Alemany Farm’s community workdays? Do you come occasionally but would like to get more involved in keeping the farm thriving? Managing San Francisco’s largest food production site is a team effort that takes a lot of time and energy, but is also highly rewarding. And it’s all done by volunteers. Friends of Alemany Farm is an all-volunteer-run group, and we want to tap a little deeper into the interest and enthusiasm of the folks who come out to volunteer on our community workdays. We’ve created some new volunteer positions we’d like to fill, and we’re looking to you to fill them!
Whether you want to get more involved in farming or gardening itself, or have time and skills to contribute to other critical support and administrative roles, check out our list of available positions and contact us about your interest. We’d love to hear from you!
Here’s a sampling some of the opportunities to pitch in. Most are open to all levels of skill, and time commitments are flexible. We want to give you a chance to get more involved whether you have time every week, once a month, or just once in a while. (See the link below for more detailed descriptions.):
– workday assistants
– orchard work
– pathway maintenance
– greenhouse help
– weekly harvest
– fundraising
– special events
For more details, plus a full list, see our Volunteer Opportunities page on our website. We hope you’re inspired to be in touch.
