Harvest at Durst Organic Growers (Esparto)

Expired

Description

Join us out at the farm and dig into something fresh, literally! We're looking for passionate volunteers to help us harvest beautiful heirloom tomatoes. Whether you're a seasoned volunteer or a first time volunteer, your hands can help grow something bigger than a harvest.

By contributing your time, you'll help support our Harvest Program which:

  • expands access to culturally relevant foods that are often hard to find or afford in traditional markets
  • connects diverse communities with Yolo County farmers and the environment in a meaningful way
  • increases food access across our community by distributing local, fresh produce to those who need it most

What to Expect:

  • you'll harvest tomatoes from the vine  - expect some bending or kneeling
  • all harvest tools and supplies are provided by YFB
  • you'll work alongside friendly staff and volunteers in a relaxed, supportive environment
  • no experience necessary - just a willingness to lend a hand and enjoy the outdoors

How to Prepare:

  • certain crops may cause skin irritation so we recommend that you wear a long sleeve top and pants
  • for safety, closed toed shoes are required at all volunteer events
  • hydration is key - please bring a reusable water bottle 

Additional Map for Directions:

Please arrive no later than 5 minutes late! Our staff will meet you at the check in area and guide you to the field.
