PEOPLE’S GROCERY FARM BLOG

Every week People’s Grocery holds open work hours for our two urban gardens in north Oakland. May it be one volunteer or ten, the help is always welcome and appreciated, giving our urban garden and Grub Box manager, Jason Uribe, a chance to get to know more people from the community and teach some urban gardening skills. Groups from schools and organizations also join us to learn about People’s Grocery, organic gardening, and jut to get their hands dirty!

In November the group Roots and Shoots visited our 59th street garden. Parents and their children prepared vegetable beds, planted beans and cover crop, pulled weeds and played.
