Dear Farm Friends,

Our new season of workshops on the farm continues through late summer and fall, with sessions on a wide range of topics. More sessions to be added as they are confirmed. Find info and registration links on our Workshops page.

Dear Farm Friends,

There are a few tickets remaining for Friends of Alemany Farm’s farm-to-table fundraising dinner on Sunday, July 12!

This will be an intimate gathering of about 30 people on the farm, with a multi-course dinner cooked by chefs Ivan Jurado and Gabi Espinosa from LihoLiho Yacht Club and Cafe Diablito, plus a farm tour and an optional farm harvest before we sit down to eat. It’s the only evening of the year we invite our farm community to join us for a truly farm-to-table dinner.

As the largest urban farm in San Francisco, Alemany Farm is one of the city’s greatest treasures. Funds raised at this dinner go directly toward keeping vital farm programs running and growing year-round: from training the next generation of urban farmers from historically underserved communities, to providing fresh, nutritious, and free produce to neighbors and anchoring a remarkable community in southeast San Francisco. 

We hope you’ll join us for a memorable evening in support of our work.

Check out the full details and purchase dinner tickets.

Dear Farm Friends,
