Farm Fridays
Learn, Build, and Grow Together
Join us on select Fridays throughout the summer at the Westside Eco-Farm for evenings of hands-on learning, community stewardship, and family fun.
Farm Fridays are our chance to work side-by-side with neighbors to continue building the farm into a welcoming space for everyone. Together, we'll tackle projects that strengthen the farm's infrastructure, expand educational opportunities, and create new experiences for children and families.
No gardening experience is necessary - just bring your curiosity and willingness to lend a hand.
