First, register to volunteer Everyone who attends a harvest must first be registered as a volunteer. Once you are registered, you are eligible to sign up for harvests, and you don't have to register again. Sign up for a harvest Open harvests are posted on the Harvest Calendar page. To sign up, click on the harvest link in the calendar, review the information about that harvest that appears under the calendar, click the sign up button, and then type in your name on the signup page. You must type it exactly as you did when you first registered, so we can match your record in our database. You must read and check off the Release Agreement to be added to the roster. Then click on the button that says 'Signup for this harvest.' Often times we add last minute harvests to the schedule, so be sure to check the Harvest Calendar regularly and sign up for our email list! Please cancel if you can't make it! If your schedule changes, please cancel so someone else can take your spot. The email you receive when you sign up will include a link where you can cancel. Your courtesy will also help us schedule the right number of volunteers for the available produce. When you arrive to the harvest site When you arrive, look for the sandwich board sign that will point you in the right direction. When everyone has arrived, We'll provide a brief orientation with helpful tips, information about the property and how to harvest. What to bring Bring water to drink, and please take care of any bathroom needs before arriving. At some harvest sites, a restroom may be available, but not always. Also bring with you a bag, box or container to take home your portion of the fruit! What to wear Come prepared for the weather! Sunscreen and a hat are useful on sunny days and raincoats are helpful if a rain shower comes through. Who to contact with other questions Please check out the Contact and FAQ pages.

Apply to be a Harvest Leader!
If you really love participating in our community fruit harvests, consider applying to be a Harvest Leader Volunteer!
We're looking for a handful of enthusiastic individuals to lead at least one fruit harvest per person each week during our 12-week harvest season (typically late August - late October). During the 2022 season, Harvest Leader volunteers will receive a $30 expense reimbursement for each harvest led. As a Harvest Leader, you'll learn the ins and outs of our organization, receive special training, spend time with our amazing volunteer pickers and tree owners, and support our goals of reducing food waste, minimizing conflicts with wildlife, and directing fresh food to people in need.
