Farming
Volunteer at the farm! We may ask for help on planting, weeding, transplanting, and other basic clean up tasks. Anyone is welcome to farm with us, you don’t need any prior experience, our skilled farm crew and seasoned community members are great teachers. Sign up here.

Veggielution’s Eastside Connect program serves more than 250 people per week through farm boxes and our onsite farm stand. We are seeking volunteers to help pack farm boxes at the farm! Veggielution Community Farm: 647 S King Rd, San Jose, CA 95116. Sign up here.
Environmental Education
Veggielution has worked to create vibrant spaces for outdoor exploration and discovery for all ages. Our Environmental Education team can curate volunteer opportunities in the Youth Garden and other select areas around the farm. Projects are individually designed and change with the seasons. Some activities may include weeding, watering, planting seeds, and composting. Sign up here.

Signing up as a group?
Plan a group workday! This is a great opportunity for your team to connect with each other through our hands-on activities at the farm. Group workdays take place from Thursdays–Saturdays (March to early November). If you’re interested in bringing your group to the farm, please fill out our inquiry form.
Closed toe shoes are required. If you don't have them, then you cannot volunteer. We recommend bringing a water bottle, hat, and sunscreen to the farm and wearing sturdy closed-toe shoes.
No jewelry, body piercings, rhinestones, dangling strings, ear buds or other items that can fall off into the growing area, packing area, or harvested product are allowed. Volunteers will be asked to remove items and store in a safe place or cover with tape.
To ensure a safe and welcoming environment for all, we ask that volunteers stay home if they are feeling unwell or experiencing any symptoms of illness. If you’re not feeling your best, please wait until you’ve fully recovered before joining us at the farm.
Volunteers must be aged 13 or older to volunteer in the farm fields or box produce on our boxing line. Middle and High School students, ages 13 to 17, MUST be accompanied by a parent/guardian/chaperone.
