Join SAGE (Sustaianble Agriculture Education) at the Sunol AgPark for our community Volunteery workdays! Get your hands in the dirt by planting native plants in the hedgerow, weeding, and mulching. Learn about gardening, sustainable farming, and the farm’s natural resources while working alongside Sunol AgPark Farmers and community members. We welcome individuals, families, and groups out to help with our farm site projects. Bring your gloves and hand tools, or just yourself. Bring layers, but plan for warm weather in Sunol. Learn about the farm, sustainable agriculture practices, and enjoy a day out in the AgPark with our farmers and other volunteers! Visit http://www.sagecenter.org/get-involved/volunteer-workdays/ for more details about our volunteer opportunities, and to stay up to date on upcoming workdays! You may also contact our site coordinator and AgPark farmer Apsen directly at aspen {at} sagecenter.org. See you on the farm!

Mission Statement
Sustainable Agriculture Education (SAGE) cultivates urban-edge places where farming and local food culture can thrive and be celebrated.
Description
SAGE regenerates agricultural places that define and sustain cities in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Founded in 2001, SAGE is a lean, entrepreneurial organization that convenes partners to collaborate on innovative projects, including public agencies, farmers, educators, conservationists, health experts, economists, planners, public-interest organizations, and community groups in urban and rural areas.
SAGE cultivates urban-edge places, such as the Sunol AgPark and the 7,400 acre Coyote Valley.
SAGE broadens the community of supporters for sustainable agriculture, through education and outreach, agri-tourism engagement and bolstering markets for local food.
SAGE provides expertise, resources, tools and convening opportunities, such as providing technical assistance to beginning farmers, and disseminating tools, frameworks and best practices.
