Gleaning at Green Gulch Farm, October 14

Saturday, October 14, 1:30 – 3 pm

Please join us at Green Gulch Farm to glean vegetables from the fields that will be donated to local non-profits such as the SF-Marin Food Bank, Poor Magazine, Marin Interfaith Street Chaplaincy, Zen Hospice, and Martin de Porres in SF.

We’ll begin the day with a welcoming circle at the farm altar. Gleaning is a traditional final harvest of agricultural fields that is given to those without access to land. It’s a wonderful opportunity to make a gift of one’s labor while enjoying beloved community in a beautiful contemplative setting along the coast. Please bring gloves, hats, water bottles, sunscreen, and anything else that you’ll need to be comfortable in variable weather. Closed-toe shoes recommended. Children and elders warmly welcome! Please park in the outermost parking lot at the bottom of the drive—and consider car-pooling. The address for Green Gulch Farm is 1601 Shoreline Hwy, Muir Beach, CA 94965. Please RSVP and address any questions to farm manager, Qayyum Johnson, at farm@sfzc.org.

Features, For Mary Watson

Remembering Mary Watson

I want to invite us to be with Mary's spirit, because she really embodied compassion. When Blanche gave her the precepts, she gave her the name, Eyes of Compassion, Nurturing Teacher, and that's what Mary was.
