ORGANIZATION: Homeless Garden Project

HGP

Join us on our 3.5-acre organic farm for scheduled volunteer activities every Thursday & Friday from 10 am - 2 pm, and Saturday & Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Visit, meet the crew, learn more about the Homeless Garden Project, and join in that day's activities. A free vegetarian lunch is served each week day for crew and volunteers.

Natural Bridges is a working farm. Projects include all types of activities:

  • Simple weeding
  • Harvest: strawberries, CSA crops, lavender and other flowers for drying
  • Planting new crops in early spring
  • Flower harvest and making CSA bouquets
  • Clearing out beds for new crops
  • Helping out in our farm kitchen

Projects are weather dependent and defined by the day's priorities. We often can't tell you in advance exactly what project you'll be working on, but there is always a choice and we can accommodate for physical limitations.
