Food Justice & Sovereignty Program
Our harvest season has started for 2025!
Due to funding purposes we unfortunately are not able to host stewarding days for individuals this season but we are offering organization volunteer days.
Reach out to fjs@hafnco.org if you are interested in bringing a group of volunteers from your organization to our garden!"
