On Saturday, May 18th, we have a goal to harvest 100,000 pounds of cabbage grown by our very own San Antonio Food Bank at Mission San Juan Farm. If we meet our goal, 1.1 million servings of fresh, healthy cabbage will be available for people in need. We will meet as a group at the large stone sign just outside the grassy area. Gardens are located just off of the acequia trail, a short walk past the mission. Day's schedule: 7-8am - Bike from Blue Star to Harvest (wheels down at 7!) 8-8:20am – Welcome 8:20-10:50am - Cabbage Harvest 10:50-11:10am - Clean up and Closing message 11:10-11:40am - Ranger available for tour This harvest will also include 500 volunteers and vendors from the San Antonio community! About Mission San Juan Farm: The Mission San Juan Community Farm is a unique partnership between the San Antonio Food Bank and the National Park Service. Our mission is to grow and distribute as much food as possible to our community, while empowering clients, school kids, volunteers, and anyone else who wants to learn more about growing food at home with skills they need to do so.
