Join the CSA Team and Cultivate Change with Farms To Grow, Inc.!

At Farms To Grow, Inc., our CSA Program is a celebration of healthy produce and the legacy of Black farmers. The CSA happens every 2nd Saturday from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm in which pre-registered subscribers receive a bag of fresh produce grown by Black farmers around California. Subscribers look forward to their Farms To Grow CSA bags as a highlight of their week, and we are seeking similarly enthusiastic volunteers to make this experience exceptional.

Volunteer Opportunity: CSA Team Members

As a vital part of the growing CSA Team, your role could include:

  • Packing Team [8:30 am-1:30 pm]: Assist in packing CSA bags with the freshest California produce grown by Black farmers. Then distribute bags onsite for community member pickups.
  • Delivery Champions [10 am-2 pm]: Become a driver for contactless produce delivery to subscribers at designated drop-off locations.

We want you to be a part of Farms To Grow's vibrant CSA community.

Why Join the CSA Team?

  • Community Impact: Contribute to food justice in the Bay Area by directly improving Black farmers' access to urban food markets.
  • Hands-On Experience: Learn about the full scale of CSA operations as either a packer or delivery driver.
