**Unfortunately, due to more upcoming rain, we have decided to move the workday event scheduled for Monday, January 16th, to a new date, Monday, February 20th. Our top priority is the safety of our volunteers and staff, and we want to ensure that everyone can participate in a safe and enjoyable environment. Again, we’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you at the rescheduled event. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.**
Join the Homeless Garden Project for a workday on the farm in honor of Martin Luther King Jr National Day of Service. We’ll gather at 9:30 am and work till 2:00 pm. Get your hands into the dirt and help prepare for spring planting! We’ll break to share lunch together; lunch will be provided. Thank you, Viva’s Mexican Food, for donating food for this event.
The speaking portion of the event will begin after lunch at 12:30. Please stay tuned for more information about the guest.
We have several different tasks available at the farm. As a small production farm, we adjust our farm tasks depending on what the weather allows us to work on, so please come prepared with the flexibility to work on different tasks!
The farm is located on Shaffer Road at Delaware Ave., on the west side of Santa Cruz, near Natural Bridges State Park and the Long Marine Lab.
For safety, everyone must come with closed-toe shoes, and we recommend that everyone wear a hat and layers and bring a water bottle.
