Free activities, classes, and workshops in honor of Earth Day and Arbor Day. All are welcome!

Celebrate Earth Week

Sunday, April 24 – Friday, April 29

Hayes Valley Farm’s Earth Week will follow Earth Day. San Francisco already planned a great festival on April 23rd, so the farm decided to wait an extra day to ensure everyone can participate!

Hayes Valley Farm will be hosting a series of events at the farm beginning on Sunday and ending on Friday (Arbor Day).

Join us for a week’s worth of FREE activities, classes, and workshops to celebrate Earth Day through Arbor Day! 

We extend a very special THANK YOU to Bi-Rite Market and La Boulange Bakery for their generous donations.
