Corporate and Group Volunteering
Our Group Volunteering Program offers groups the opportunity to give back to the community while providing a meaningful outdoor team building experience.
We offer a variety of volunteer activities for corporate, non-profit, school or other teams at our farm in El Granada.
Your group has a big impact, directly benefiting thousands of Bay Area students who come to The Farm to learn where their food comes from and why it matters.
What will we do on the farm?
Group volunteer sessions include a brief tour, a volunteer activity, and the chance to harvest your own fruits and vegetables from the farm so you can enjoy the fruits of your labors! Example volunteer activities are listed below, and generally rotate with the seasons.

🫐 Prune berries

Please note: the activities offered to your group may be different than those listed below as farm needs change frequently.
Schedule Your Volunteer Day
We can host groups of up to 25 people and will work with you to develop a schedule that fits your group’s needs.
We request a donation from corporate groups to cover the cost of staff time and supplies and to support our educational programs.
Groups up to 10: $1000
Groups of 11-20: $2000
Groups of 20-25: $2500
This taxable donation goes to help The HEAL Project grow healthy kids from the ground up. Schools, non-profits or government agencies can schedule a volunteer day at reduced or no cost.

Team Offsites and Custom Retreats
Let us help you plan a custom team retreat or off-site! We offer “unplugged” meeting space and EPIC team-buliding pizza making parties in our wood-fired oven that can be booked separately or in addition to your group volunteering session. Please reach out to development@thehealproject.org for more details on how to schedule a custom digital detox retreat.

The HEAL Project's corporate volunteer program was...EXCEPTIONAL! We learned some, got a little dirty, and left feeling we had achieved our community goal. I would recommend this experience to any company looking for team building or service opportunities.”
