The 31th Annual Pesto Festo is just around the corner on Saturday, April 26th. Pesto Festo is an annual celebration of community and local food as well as being a fundraiser for our nonprofit farm's educational programs.This year we'll have kids activities, a farm fresh salad, pizza, pasta, zoodles, and more for dinner as well as live music and a silent auction. With all these activities, we'll need dedicated volunteers to make our annual harvest celebration and fundraiser a success. As a volunteer you can help in a variety of areas such as set-up, kids activities, food prep, ticket taking, pouring drinks, serving food, break down and more. Volunteer shifts are throughout the day and are about 2-3 hours depending on the shift you choose. As a perk, volunteers may also attend the festivities before or after their shift for free. If you'd like to sign-up to be a volunteer for Pesto Festo or have any questions, please contact our Executive Director, Chris, at office@sweetwater-organic. org
