Join the farm team out in the fields! This opportunity includes planting, weeding, harvesting, irrigation, and more. Agricultural experience is a plus but not necessary. This is a great way to learn about growing organic produce in Arizona. Make sure to be prepared to get dirty and be out in the sun. Bring sunscreen, water, a hat, a snack, and clothing appropriate for the Arizona climate.

Mission Statement
JFFUA is focused on preserving urban farming in Arizona and inspiring the next generation of farmers. The Foundation provides education through a school to farm STE(A)M program, Farm Hands, that aims to teach youth about the food system within their own community. The goal is to inspire future farmers with a focus on health and the importance of a strong local food system. The foundation collaborates with developers to inspire opportunities to preserve land in Arizona for use as urban farms to perpetuate and secure land for a continued food source for all of Arizona.
Description
Farmland is an integral part of our food system, and it is vanishing. Our goal is to work with developers to maintain urban farms throughout the state to create a strong and healthy food system for future generations.
