From the Farm
This summer, Shepherd Giving Farm is in full production. The fields are growing zucchini, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, melons, eggplant, and more. Right now the farm is producing roughly 2,000 pounds of fresh, certified organic produce every single week. All of it donated.
All of it on just a couple of acres of ground.
2,000 lbs/week
of certified organic produce donated from Shepherd Giving Farm, grown on just a couple of acres in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Come Volunteer at the Farm
Shepherd Giving Farm runs on generous expertise and lots of hands. Farmer Tom Shepherd brings more than 50 years of certified organic growing experience to the land, and every pound the farm produces is donated. Now you can join that effort directly.
Volunteer harvest shifts are now open for sign-up. Visit our volunteer page, find the Giving Farm available shifts, and pick the one that works for you. No experience needed. Just show up ready to work alongside people who care about the same things you do.
