Upcoming Events
Community Spring Work Party

Work projects will be followed by a free, vegetarian community lunch!
Shared Abundance Gardens Distribution Day
Registered Shared Abundance Gardeners for the 2024 season come to the Farm to pick up their vegetable, herb, flower, and perennial seedlings. More information to come!
Get Your Maror On!
Passover is coming and we're offering an afternoon for our whole community to "Get Your Maror On!"
All are welcome to drop in at the Farm to learn about maror and taste the bitter greens of our land! You will also be invited to take home a pot of microgreens or dig a horseradish root (while it lasts) for your seder plate or Spring-time snacking.
Know a whole lot about maror and the Passover traditions? Never heard the word maror before and curious about the Passover holiday? Find yourself somewhere in between? Then this learning opportunity is for you!
Meet the Farmer + Pick Up Radish Seeds
Current Shared Abundance Gardeners are invited to the Farm to meet our new farm manager, Nat Ross, and receive a packet of radish seeds to plant this Spring!
If you are not currently registered as a Shared Abundance Gardener for the 2024 season, you are invited to join us to ask your questions about this pay-what-you-can gardening program and sign up!
Medicine on the Seder Plate: Parsley, Lettuce, Horseradish, & More!
Bitter herbs, spring greens- these plants contain nutrients and flavors that are essential to our springtime bodies. How do our body’s needs correspond with the seasons of the year, and how do these differ by climate? What does your body crave in springtime, and how is (or isn’t) that reflected in Jewish tradition?
Together, we will explore the physiological wisdom in the plants that Jewish tradition honors at this time of year. We will taste the plants of the seder plate, the symbolic foods of Passover, and learn how these tastes interact with our bodies. This workshop is open to all of any or no faith.Join us for an herbal exploration into the plants of the seder plate!
Registration is sliding scale, $1-50: tinyurl.com/farm-maror

Pick Your Own
Pick Your Own is Abundance Farm’s free community harvest program that is open from May through October on Mondays from 3:30 to 6:00 and Thursdays from 2:00 to 5:00 PM.
The Jewish teaching of פאה , or peah, tells us that as farmers, we are not “giving away” this food, but that, in fact, the harvest already belong to those who need it and want to come to the farm to harvest. Pick Your Own participants often also share their wisdom about crops, recipes, community events, and resources. In Judaism, we call this flow of giving and receiving שפע, or shefa, which is Hebrew for abundance.
