Our June newsletter is online! This month, we are highlighting a few things, including our work with Stanford’s Earth Systems Program’s Environmental Storytelling Class and a site visit by Tri-City Interfaith Council. Inviting groups like these to LEAF is part of our focus on building community. Are you involved with a local community group? We’d love to collaborate with you!

Our Seedling Sale is ongoing through Father’s Day, June 21st. We’ve added lots of summer veggie seedlings that are now on sale - buy online and pick up at the LEAF Urban Farm, or buy directly at the LEAF Urban Farm, on Thursdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

And as always, we have plenty of upcoming events at the LEAF Community Garden, the LEAF Urban Farm, and partner Alameda County Library branches. See upcoming events and read it all via our linktree, and sign up to receive future newsletters with the QR code on the second slide or at the link in the comments!

Join us at the LEAF Community Garden on Saturday, June 13th, 10 a.m. - Noon, for the June session of our Creative Reuse series as we finger knit together using yarn made from recycled T-shirts!

We're also having a bonus session of our Creative Reuse Series at the Fremont Main Library!

We'll work together to make friendship bracelets using yarn made from recycled T-shirts.

This class is a part of our Creative Reuse series. Through Creative Reuse, we put materials that would have been thrown away to good use. Our goal is to save and use yarn and other craft supplies that would otherwise be thrown away and use them. Please bring any yarn, notions, t-shirts, or plastic storage boxes you would like to donate to the class. Donating craft supplies or cash helps us offer this class series for free.

Every harvest at LEAF is made possible by our incredible community of volunteers. From planting and tending crops to harvesting, weighing, and delivering fresh produce to our local food bank partners, their dedication helps transform our gardens into a source of nourishment for our neighbors.

Whether you’re interested in regenerative agriculture, passionate about local food systems, or simply looking for a meaningful way to spend time outdoors, there’s a place for you at LEAF. Join us as a volunteer and help grow food, knowledge, and community.

Our volunteer days are Mondays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m., at the LEAF Urban Farm, as well as every first Saturday of the month at the LEAF Community Garden and every second Sunday of the month at the LEAF Urban Farm.

Join us for some summer fun and volunteering at the LEAF Community Garden!

School is finally out so let's celebrate together! We'll be getting our hands dirty with composting and companion planting cherry tomatoes.

This is an educational volunteer day where we will be learning about the science behind composting and diversifying our garden. Stick around afterwards for salad and refreshments, courtesy of Youth for Good!

If you’ve ever been to our LEAF Urban Farm, then you might have noticed one of the factors that make us truly urban: our close proximity to the railways.

For the last few months, we’ve been supporting West Coast Railroad Cameras ( ), a student project focused on making trainspotting available online. They set up their first camera station, the Niles Junction Railcam, by attaching it to a palm tree at our farm. It overlooks Niles Junction and livestreams the UP Oakland Sub, UP Warm Springs Sub, and UP Niles Sub (train-speak, anyone?) on YouTube.

When you can’t make it trackside, tune in instead. 🚂 You can find the link to watch the livestream and to learn more about West Coast Railcams and their projects in our linktree.
