Our garden is abundant and beautiful — but with just a small team tending it, we rely on the love and support of our community to bring the harvest to life. Your helping hands make all the difference!
Harvest Day
We have two morning shifts and are looking for at least two kind souls to help with harvesting, and some for the garden-volunteer shift—to help gather the beautiful gifts the Earth is offering.
1. Harvesting
📅 Tuesdays 🕕 6 - 8 am
Tasks:
💬 Ask Karina of the harvest which bed you get assigned and remember the bed number!
🧺 Bring one of the available crates from the dome to put the produce in.
✂️ Use clippers to harvest. For some plants (like kale), just trim the leaves, for others (like celery, lettuce, pak choi) remove the whole plant and trim off the roots .
🍂 Place roots or withered leaves in a separate crate or wheelbarrow for compost.
⚖️ The follow crops are measured per weighing:

🔢 All other crops are measured by counting.
💦 If necessary, give the produce a quick rinse to remove most of the dirt - just enough so it’s easier for folks to wash at home.
🧺 Depending on crop, either:
- place them directly on the harvest table
- or place items in water containers to keep them fresh (lettuce and pak choi)
- or make bunches
💬 Report bed number and amount/weight of produce to Karina for documentation.
2. Garden volunteer
Our communal garden is buzzing with projects every week — from planting and harvesting to learning new skills with the farm team. There’s always something to do, something to learn, and fresh produce to help grow for the whole community!
📅 Tuesdays 🕢 7:30 - 9:30 am
Tasks:
💬 Ask our farm manager Bryan what is the task for today.
