DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE !…read more first day of visitation the woman lied to me. Doors were locked and nobody was there my husband has to wait for a worker to arrive and open the building. She told him he had to leave before the other party arrives and she would call the other party. When I talked to her I asked her why my husband could not see inside the facility she told me the other party was there before my husband and that was why. She lied to me ... nobody was there when my Husband arrived and she had to open the building there was no way someone was already in there waiting and she told my husband and I two different things. If they're willing to lie the first visit I cannot possibly Trust them to be honest and supervise the visit with my son. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS

Not gonna lie, the lady who we interacted with there at first seemed kinda confused as to why we were there lol (I guess not many food donors for the drive yet?) but then was super appreciative on the food donations.

They are always friendly and very grateful when we are dropping off food. Please consider helping them out if you are able. I have volunteered a couple times a very long time ago. I always left with a sense of togetherness and respect for those that volunteer on a daily basis. If you are in need of assistance please make sure you are kind and respectful. I know that times are tough and they may not have exactly what you want, but many times they will have a decent replacement.

I am very disappointed because my dad was there and he would have signed another liability form but the check in lady said no, "you have to be on my list, your teacher should have sent the forms out already" and this was for the Spaghetti feed today. After that she told me "well there is another opportunity in January you can do" but I will definitely never volunteer for this place again.

This urban farm is a fun place to visit if you're in the area…read more Ordering food is slow and awkward, but entertaining. You might have to bring your own food if you follow a plant-based, whole food diet. No healthy options for plant-based kids. There is a farm stand, so my children just ate fruit.

Urban farming...who knew??…read more I sure as hell didn't! My first experience, and hopefully not my last, was while volunteering at the Autumn Equinox Celebration a few weekends ago. I generally associate Hurley avenue with The Kitchen, the street to the mall, the movie theaters, a bunch of random big box stores/shops...not where I'd find a hidden oasis of urban farming! I can't really review the farming situation, because what I saw was a decked out landscape of food tasting, booze drinking, social responsible being group of people who were supporting an underground culture of urban farming. A friend asked if I'd like to volunteer at this event. Sure, I don't mind donating my services to a good cause. This BY FAR is the most underrated event in Sacramento. I almost don't want to yelp about it, so it stays cool and awesome - but they do cap it off, so get in where you fit in. Every good eatery on the grid and in the Handle district is here. Even some of the good spots off of the grid were here too. There was plenty of food for everyone and booze, no short supply of anything. Unlike most events, IF you even had to wait in a line, it was less than five minutes. The whole event was also "no waste"! For those of you who don't speak hippie, this means no trash was created - we used mini wine glasses, plastic plates, and silverware. The vendors generally just plated everything on your plate, with the exception of a few vendors. Those that did use a serving dish, were made of bamboo or something hippieish of the sorts. After volunteering and consuming their food and booze (this was okayed by the volunteer lead), I realized that I want to volunteer at their actual farm in Rancho Cordova. This event made me want to volunteer my time to their efforts, it is a great non-profit. Everyone was so warm and inviting, and genuinely nice - from the staffers, the other volunteers, the vendors, and the celebrators, not one person had a bad attitude. I am now a believer...I'm ready to get down on some urban farming!
