First Communal work of 2026 at Green Gulch Farm
Each spring, new farm and garden apprentices join our community and experience a unique opportunity to study themselves and the natural world through meditation practice and working directly with the land in the Green Gulch watershed.
This April marks the 32nd year Green Gulch has offered its world-renowned, Zen practice-based Organic Farm and Garden Apprenticeship Programs. These six-month programs now include creek restoration and land stewardship.
Wednesday during the growing season, after a short period of formal Zazen, the whole community changes into work clothes and hoes silently in the fields as an extension of their zazen practice.
