Description
Work side-by-side with Hidden Villa's Farm team as they grow Hidden Villa's organic produce. With your hands in the soil, you'll learn from our farmers how Hidden Villa practices small-scale organic farming. Typical activities include seasonal planting, transplanting, weeding, harvesting, mulching, pruning, and occasionally building. No experience is necessary. Please complete our Volunteer Application and Waiver.
Hidden Villa grows on about 7 acres of land, producing food for our local community, and donating 25% of the harvest to the food bank at the Community Services Agency of Mountain View.
ATTIRE: Please come ready to get dirty. We recommend clothes that you're okay with getting dirty/muddy, sturdy boots, a sun hat, a water bottle and snacks if you like. We’re usually weeding the farm fields.
PARKING: When you arrive at Hidden Villa, park immediately on your left at the gravel parking lot.
MEETING PLACE: Parking lot at 9am then head out to the fields from there. If you arrive late come out to the farm field where you'll likely find us or check the farm office door to find out where we are.
Anyone under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by a guardian. If you have a group larger than 5 people. please email us at volunteers@hiddenvilla.org so we can plan on hosting your group.
