Hey, it's about that time and we need lots of help with prepping our field for and during the new year!
We hope everyone is taking care and staying healthy. We miss our lovely volunteers and visitors at the Farm Discovery Educational Field/Gardens and wanted to put out an invitation to come volunteer!
If you would be interested in coming out to the farm, whether it is just for a couple hours of the day or to be added to a regular schedule, we would love to have you and could use your support. Right now we are looking for individuals to come help out anytime, any day Monday-Wednesday or Friday, but we can chat and customize hours that work best for both of us. We are growing food for our community in need.
Help we are looking for:
- Field/garden projects (weeding fields, digging beds/paths, adding compost/mulch to fields, general maintenance etc.)
- Specialized skills? Maybe you have a special skill that can offer something we haven't thought of, reach out to us!
- Experience with agriculture would be a plus! But if you don't, we can teach ya!
Due to the current circumstances, we will only be able to have minimal engagement with volunteers, enough to explain the task and make sure you have everything you need. So, a lot of the work will be independent unless you want to bring someone from your household along!
We want this experience to be mutually beneficial as well, so please feel free to enjoy the outdoor space while you are here (say hi to our animals, leave-no-trace picnic in between your volunteer work, etc.)
If you are interested, or would like more information, don’t hesitate to email me at education.associate@farmdiscovery.org or call our office at 831-728-2032.
Thank you, community, we love and appreciate you!

Mission Statement
Farm Discovery at Live Earth is a nonprofit organization working in the Pajaro Valley community to empower youth and families to build and sustain healthy food, farming, social and natural systems. Our home, Live Earth Farm, is a 150 acre patchwork of working organic farm, riparian corridor, oak and redwood forest in the Pajaro Valley of Santa Cruz County, California. Discovery Docents are needed to help lead groups of students through our organic farm education activities Mondays and Fridays 8:30-12:30 during the school year. Special Events Volunteers table and lead activities at community events throughout the year.
Description
We believe that we can transform personal and community health and improve our impact on earth by building and sustaining collaborative agricultural, ecological and social systems. We believe that communities equipped with knowledge and the skills of inquiry can transform food, farming and natural systems for the better.
* Farm Discovery offers educational programs that inspire youth and families to transform their relationship to food, farming and nature.* We steward our working farm and its wild spaces as an environmentally and economically viable piece of the food system and a learning space.
* We grow and deliver nutritious, organic food with students for community members most in need - seniors, veterans, foster youth, farmworkers and more * We collaborate with community partners to learn from each other and extend our collective impact in the community.
