Mustard Seed Community Farm is a collective group of farmers and gardeners inspired by the examples of The Catholic Worker, Gandhi, Buddhist teachings, Fukuoka and many others. The community seeks to create an environment in which everyone can participate in growing, distributing and eating good quality food. They are committed to service, to their workers, to the land, and to the hungry.

They welcome you to come out to the farm to volunteer and learn about growing your own food. No one on the farm is a paid worker. In exchange for pay workers receive fresh veggies. The farm also donates approximately one-third of their yields to community food banks or those in need.
