Arif Collective Garden Workday & Lunch-n-Learn 6.6.26

Join our next Arif Urban Agrarian Collective (AUAC) Workday at the Peace Garden!

Growing season is in full swing and we are still working on establishing more beds at the farm, come through!!

This month, we will have our dear friends from We All We Got for our lunch-n-learn! We All We Got is a pillar in the community that supports through their incredible mutual aid efforts. Operating predominantly out of City Heights, their efforts cover all of San Diego via food donations, immigration support, direct mutual aid support for community members, and much more.

From their website, "Mutual aid is about solidarity, not charity. It’s about justice and building power. It’s about autonomy and agency amongst our people. It’s more than just survival, but about community care. It’s about prioritizing individuals and communities that are system-impacted. Mutual aid is about redistributing to meet the needs of our communities. It’s about finding solutions together because all we got is us. We build the world we want through collective power and action. Mutual aid is when we meet people where they are at. It is an essential tool of base-building and relationship-building by genuinely serving the people. We’re not just trying to survive under a global pandemic — we are out here building power and a movement for our freedom!"

Come learn about this incredible organization that is run by volunteers for the community and how you can get involved!

Make sure to bring a food container, utensils, and a cup to help us minimize waste!

We will have more water and restrooms on site!

More on AUAC:

Our founding farmers blend East African agricultural practices with decades of experience growing in San Diego. We teach, grow food, and develop agricultural knowledge directly with the community. All from our 8,000 square foot garden and 60-tree orchard.

Learn to make compost, start seeds, and start farming wherever you have space. Join us in growing a new food system in San Diego.

The food we grow nourishes our community directly. Our crop is collectively managed from seed to sprout to harvest and donated directly to community members, local food pantries, and mutual aid organizations.

Info: Tasks will be segmented out by low-, medium-, and high-duty, so you get to choose your own adventure!

Info: Delicious food to nourish your body, informative food to nourish your mind! Make sure to bring your own food container, utensils, and cup to minimize our waste!
