I just recently found out about an organization called Veggielution the other day. They are a "nonprofit community farm seeking to create a sustainable food system in San Jose." The farm is located in East San Jose and "engages the community by providing access to healthy and local food, creating youth leadership opportunities, and developing creative solutions to social and environmental justice issues."
Every Saturday they have a Farmstand event where they sell their freshly grown veggies. All the veggies have "a suggested price, which is below the market rate for organic produce. Customers are welcome to pay above or below that price depending on their ability." The Farmstand event is located on 647 S King Street and runs from 10am-2pm.Also, browse their website for other events (there's lots!) and other ways you can get involved. If you have a green thumb but no yard (or even if you do have a yard), this may be a perfect place to volunteer your time.
Enjoy the weekend!
I know I will, thanks to a win by the Red Sox! FINALLY!
