Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm is looking for volunteers interested in helping out with our goal of educating our community on food - where it comes from and how we can grow it better. Come see how work is fun and productive with many hands and fun personalities!
Volunteering should be a symbiosis and that's what we do at Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm. You come to the Farm and give your time and in exchange we give you education and share in the food that we have all grown!
Come to the new volunteer orientation where you are given the tour of the Farm and learn what we do to grow food successfully organically and sustainably. Then you get hands on education, working with our experienced managers and the other volunteers.
At lunch time, volunteers get a free healthy meal made with the ingredients grown at the Farm. (There is craft homebrewed beer and natural soda too.) How often do you get to eat what your hard work has produced?
We are looking for energetic, positive people who love good food and know the importance of humanly raising animals. If this sounds like you, visit our volunteering page of our website http://hollyhillhummingbird.com/volunteer/ and then email us to apply!

Mission Statement
Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm, is made up of volunteers working toward the goal of building a better community and a better world.
Often the hummingbird is used to describe a beautiful symbiosis, it is fed while it feeds. This is our model and final goal within the community and beyond.
Missions: 1) Ethical and symbiotic relationship of life 2) Education to all those who consider us community on how to treat life ethically and symbiotically 3) Strive to keep a balance of symbiosis with the community; however, NEVER bend ethically
Description
Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm, a nonprofit corporation, is made up of staff and volunteers from the Silicon Valley working toward building a better community and a better world. The goal of Hollyhill Hummingbird Farm is to educate the community on food and how it can be better produced.
What food looks like as it grows, is a surprise and delight to many people who have never had a chance to experience it before. For those more advanced, lessons on companion planting (ie planting chives among grapes) can be an eye opener. Everyone who comes to the Farm takes away something that will help them make better choices in the food that they eat and the way that they live.
The Farm’s focus is on biodynamic farming and sustainability; being organic, minimizing waste, and coming full circle. For example, composted chicken manure is used in the Farm’s garden, and coming full circle, garden scraps are used to feed the chickens.
