Collective Garden
Join us for the 2026 growing season!
Our Collective Garden is more than just a place to grow vegetables—it is a collaborative space where shared land, resources, and mentorship empower us to grow food and community as one. Unlike a traditional community garden with individual plots, we work together in one large, productive market garden, sharing the tasks, the costs, and the abundant harvest.
Why garden collectively?
Ease and support: Our Garden Manager and mentors guide every step, from seed to harvest.
Shared abundance: Enjoy a wide variety of fresh, organic vegetables, herbs, flowers, and small fruits throughout the season.
Learning & connection: Gain hands-on skills in regenerative agriculture and build meaningful relationships during our weekly work parties and monthly potlucks.
What you receive
Weekly harvests: Fresh produce starting in mid-to-late June, including seasonal vegetables, berries, and plums.
Shared resources: Full access to high-quality tools, compost, seeds, starts, and irrigation supplies
Mentorship: Professional guidance during weekly shifts to help you learn "by doing" in the soil.
Community events: Monthly workshops (like kimchi fermenting or herbal remedy making) and community festivals.
Member commitments
To keep our garden thriving, we ask for a consistent commitment from May through October:
Weekly work shift: 2 hours per week at one of our scheduled work parties (offered Sundays, Tuesdays, and some Fridays).
Community spirit: Participation in monthly Sunday work parties and seasonal potluck gatherings.
Communication: Stay connected through our private WhatsApp group for timely garden updates.
