Help us deepen our roots and expand our impact in the San Fernando Valley as we secure our own space!

This event was postponed from November 2026 to now!

Guests and donors will enjoy an evening filled with hands-on activities, light refreshments, and music, alongside an inspiring program featuring our founders, alumni, current participants, and a guest speaker. Together, we’ll reflect on the joy, labor, and impact that has shaped our work over the years.

Highlights include:

• Interactive activities that celebrate our land-based learning and community care including a zine table, photo backdrop,
• Bites and refreshments prepared by our resident chef Alberto Alcazar with local produce
• A silent auction with local goods and experiences (closing at 6:45 PM)

• Opportunities to connect with staff and board members about becoming a donor and supporting our future

The formal program begins at 4:45 PM, with time before and after to enjoy the farm, explore activities, and connect with our growing network of supporters.
