Volunteer Leader, Sustainable Agriculture

Apr 2023 - Sep 2023
Friends of Alemany Farm grows food security and educates local residents about how they can become their own food producers. We strive to increase ecological knowledge and habitat value, and to sow the seeds for economic and environmental justice. All of the food we grow is given away for free to neighbors, volunteers, The Free Farm Stand, and other groups. At Alemany, I led groups of volunteers on-farm and worked shoulder to shoulder with Alemany apprentices from underrepresented communities in the Bay Area. I am also collaborating on producing a documentary video about the farm to be used in fundraising and promotional efforts. Show less
