Every year we invite our community to join us on the farm, meet our farm team, connect with the land, and learn more about our farming practices through hands-on activities for all experience levels. This year while the farm is under construction we are sharing the love and support with other farms in our local ecosystem. Our farmers at RSF will also be joining in the fun this year, traveling to the host farms for the workdays.

Our first Regional Community Workday is at A Healing Sanctuary, a farm stewarded by STEAM URBAN. STEAM URBAN is the educational nonprofit led by 2024 Pollinate Alumni Fallon Davis! Join us in Newark, NJ to help out at their amazing urban farm. Meet our farm teams, connect with the land, and learn more about our farming practices through hands-on activities for all experience levels. Lunch provided!
