Get Involved

New Roots is continuously expanding with new growers joining the ranks of the 168 gardening families and 54 farmers currently participating in the program, not to mention the addition of new garden plots, more land under production, and ongoing infrastructure projects across farm and garden sites.

Our needs fluctuate in tandem with the agricultural season, but the most impactful channels of support remain the same year- round.

Volunteer

We offer a variety of individual and group volunteer opportunities throughout the year. Group volunteer opportunities include farm & garden infrastructure builds, clean-up of garden and farm sites, and pre- and post-season cleanup at the farm sites. Individual volunteer opportunities include supporting with projects at Redwood Farm, or working at the New Roots Farmers Market on Wednesday evenings.

Shop

Put money directly into New Roots farmer pockets by signing up for the CSA, purchasing produce from New Roots farmers markets, shop for New Roots farmer produce on Wholi, an online direct to farmer purchasing platform, or purchasing items at one of the retail locations that source fresh vegetables from program participants. If you are a chef or business owner interested in sourcing local produce from New Roots, please contact Kati Robison (Kati.Robison@Rescue.org).

Every dollar makes an impact. You can make a donation to the New Roots program directly online using a credit card. You can also choose the direction of your dollar by selecting an item from our Amazon Wishlist.
